Introduction

Welcome to The Gallery of Shadows!

This gallery, located in a nondescript mossy cellar within the Peak District of England, greets you with a musty, curious smell the moment you walk through the creaky doors. It is manned by the lone curator, Igor D'Antoinne, who excitedly greets you. When you ask what this place is about, he responds:

"This gallery is like a beautiful sunset suffering from night terrors. Here, have some tea."

Inside there are works of art that are varied in style and medium - mostly paintings and a few sculptures and photographs - yet all off them possess a kind of yearning fear. It's the kind of fear that is adored by the artist and despised by the commoner. Let the artist's fascination with the fearful find its way deep into your belly, where your secret hesitations lie, and let those shadows wield the brush alongside the painter's hand.
