Much as I loved the show it seems the script involved a fair amount of lifting, not least from some lesser known Alan Moore.

The ligotti connection I *thought* was voiced often, however it seems the timeline belies a slightly less honest ethic according to some observers.  Given the awards it was nominated for it does appear a lot of the 'famous' dialogue is so close to Ligotti's that it almost seems wrong to award the show's writer....
