I thought Gatiss would go with a fairly straight adaptation. Surprising, considering he's well known for his love of Victoriana and "trad" horror.

He was completely off my radar before Sherlock—I'd heard of The League of Gentlemen, but I couldn't have told you who was in it. Between Mycroft and his script for "The Great Game," however, he's got my attention.

Also I see he's written a biography of James Whale, which I will be all over as soon as I can find a copy. Are his novels any good?
