Goodreads review by Justin on December 27, 2019

My 2020 goal might just be to read all 32 of these Dark Shadows books. I'm in love with everything. The macabre mansion, the groovy '60s backdrop, the swirling mystery on every page.

I remember rushing home from school to watch the soap opera Dark Shadows when I was a kid and I vaguely remember reading some of the books in this series, though I recall no details. This is the first book in the series (free to read on Kindle Unlimited) and I really enjoyed it. Sure, it's quite date......more

Goodreads review by Jim on May 26, 2014

I am including only the first book in the series, although I do own all of them. This was the first tie-in to a television series that I had ever read. Oh, there were "one offs" and limited titles for some shows, but this was the first time that I had encountered such a huge selection of titles. Wit......more
