I'm a fairly new Shadow fan (having read my first Shadow story last year!) and I'm intrigued by The Shadow's sanctum. I read the story Gray Fist yesterday and The Shadow's sanctum plays a big role in the story. But what I really liked was from the first few paragraphs of the second chapter, that's where we are given an awesomely eerie description of The Shadow's sanctum. Here it is:
The Shadow's sanctum is in a secret location in Manhattan. As the description above states, it is a veritable vault! The sanctum is where The Shadow works, communicates with Burbank, and also where he keeps his archives. As I read more Shadow stories I'll learn more about the sanctum.
The Sanctum has long been a favorite aspect of the series for me, along with the ring. I liked the version from the movie but it was nothing like the sparse, inky black subterranean hideout that Gibson described.
