The
field agents of the Carnacki Institute investigate a haunting at an
abandoned theater that is up for renovation. Julien Advent, the
Apocalypse Door, the Droods, and Area 52 are mentioned, and Alistair
Gravel appears. The
Carnacki Institute is named after the title character of William Hope
Hodgson’s Carnacki
the Ghost-Finder.
The Apocalypse Door was destroyed by the Drood family in Green’s
Secret
Histories novel
From
Hell with Love.
Julien Advent is from Green’s Nightside novels; he is meant to be
adventurer Adam Adamant, from the television series Adam
Adamant Lives! The
Area 52 referred to in Green’s work is located in the Antarctic,
and thus is probably meant to be the same one seen in the Image
Comics miniseries of the same name. Alistair Gravel is probably meant
to be a relative of combat magician William Gravel from Warren Ellis’
comic Gravel.
