Synopsis

The Phantom and Barnabas Collins (September 1969)

Maggie Evans visits the Collins family graveyard and is transported back in time to the year 1880. There she awakes, an amnesia victim, at a Collinwood she barely recognizes. All that seems familiar are the house itself and the family’s guest, Barnabas Collins.

Slowly, Maggie learns she is trapped in a nightmare. She has fallen into the hands of Dr. Giles Collins, whose mysterious experiments with human blood have already taken several lives. Now she is slated to be his next victim.

Though Maggie is warned by the others that he is a vampire, she turns to Barnabas for help. But Barnabas, too, is in danger from the evil doctor. Will he live long enough to save her?

Goodreads review by Stephen

For one of these Dark Shadows tie-ins, this entry was pretty good. The series, written by Dan Ross under his wife's name, is odd in that it doesn't follow the TV series and generally uses only a character or two from the actual show, so they seem to take place in an alternate timeline from the show.......more
