Synopsis

The Curse of Collinwood (May 1968)
​
Upset over the death of Ernest Collins, Victoria begins to believe that phantoms are haunting her. Are they figments of her imagination? As the threats to her life become very real, she is forced to accept the horrifying truth.

The strange figures are not phantoms but the bodies of Derek and Esther Collins, murdered more than a century ago. They were unwittingly released from their coffins by a shaft of moonlight – and doomed to roam the earth as “the living dead.”

This was the first Dark Shadows tie-in I found as a ten year-old back then, probably on a spinner rack of paperbacks in my small hometown (then under 3000 people). One didn't need a bookstore in your county (well, we Did, but it was 40 miles away) when paperbacks were distributed in drug stores, dis......more

Goodreads review by Quentin on November 13, 2024

This turned out to be not at all what I expected, but in a good way. We know the world of Dark Shadows does involved the supernatural. Vampires, ghosts, werewolves, witches, the living dead, all are part of Dark Shadows. The early novels didn't have that, and instead everything was down to Earth. To......more

In the first four books, the plot is "Scoobified" when it's discovered that the supernatural terror plaguing Collinwood has a rational explanation. Not thi......more
