Synopsis

The Demon of Barnabas Collins (April 1969)

The arrival of a movie company at Collinwood gives Barnabas a chance to escape Angelique’s awful curse—the curse which has made him one of the living dead.
Barnabas meets and falls in love with beautiful film star, Rita Glenn. In order to save him, she introduces him to the mysterious Dr. Moreno who has a cure for Barnabas.
Barnabas is jubilant over his recovery—but not for long. Suddenly he is in a life and death battle with another vampire—with Rita’s life at stake. The only way to save her is to return to the curse once again.
​
This is the first book to present Barnabas in a heroic vein rather than as the villain, following the trend set by the television series.

This might be one of my favorite entries in the Dark Shadows book series, so far. I love that we have a movie being shot at Collinwood. This is a Barnabas-focused book, and I love his character. The main actress in the movie being filmed is an old flame of Barnabas'. There is a mysterious doctor in......more

This was my favorite "Barnabas Collins" Dark Shadows novel so far. This one is set in the modern time of the 1960s rather than the older time periods of the previous novels starring Barnabas. It is odd how all of the supporting characters from the show are left out, and it's basically just Barnabas......more

Another book in the Dark Shadows series of Paper Library Guide books. A movie company is going to use Collinwood for it's movie so Vickie and all the others go elsewhere until that's done. Barnabas is the only one to stay behind. Clifton Kerr is one of the actors and he's a nasty piece of work. Rita......more

Barnabas in Bracken's World The Demon of Barnabas Collins is the eighth wonder--if not of the world--of the Dark Shadows literary universe brought to us by Dan "Marilyn" Ross. What a fun book! Hollywood comes to Collinwood! It's like a crossover with Bracken's World, the 1969-70 series about the movi......more

Goodreads review by Holly on January 22, 2012

This could well have been re-titled "The Redemption of Barnabas Collins," since this is the book that humanizes the monster. In earlier installments Barnabas was just a bad guy, despite his attractive exterior. Here he's depicted as a lonely, misunderstood outsider who wants to be human again. Awwww......more
