THE DEMON OF BARNABAS COLLINS
is the eighth in a series of thrilling novels
based on ABC-TV's popular suspense drama,
DARK SHADOWS. For a complete list, see
page two of this book.
Wow, Barnabas is like a teenage boy with how easily he falls in love. Just be remotely attractive and in the same general vicinity and he's head-over-heels. He's ready to confess to you about his poorly concealed "condition", switch to your health care provider and even be willing to get re-cursed all for someone he's known for a week.
They don't mention it but I am just sure the before page forty he's broached the subject of a joint checking account.
I just got access to a couple more of the Dark Shadows earlier books. Even though this will make them a bit out of order, I wanted to included them.
One last thing, don't you think it odd that on this cover Barnabas Collins is staring at his stake and mallet like he doesn't know quite what to do with them? I mean, he's been a vampire for 200 years, it's pretty straight forward.
That is a pretty hilarious picture.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Barnabas' tendencies remind me of myself from about ages 11 to 16. ::winces::

You'd think that after 200 years, Barnabas would be indifferent.
