Lara Parker who played Angelique in the 70's tv series is the author of this book series. I read the first one and I got hooked again on what a great show Dark Shadows was. Some of the questions about the series were answered in her books. I wish she had written more than 4 books.

But it was NOT compelling... What bothered me the most were the non-canonical bits... Angelique's failure to remember parts of her history with Barnabas, the personality change of Julia, and the re-writing of the story of the creation of Quentin's portrait. As an ALTERNATIVE to canon, the story was... OK. The place was plodding... You'll eventually believe you are caught in a snowdrift... But the plot itself was interesting. If you're hoping to read a continuation of the plot from the television series, however, you'll be disappointed. The characters may be familiar, but they've been altered enough that this could be Collinwood in Parallel Time.
