Dark Shadows the Complete Paperback Library Reprint Volume 1: Dark Shadows
Dark Shadows the Complete Paperback Library Reprint Volume 1: Dark Shadows | Marilyn Ross
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
The original, classic, Dark Shadows books from the Paperback Library, return with Hermes Press' archival reprint of all 32 titles in the series beginning with the first novel which first saw print in December, 1966. The first book in this reprint series, "Dark Shadows," will feature the original painted cover depicting Victoria Winters and the complete text, re-proofed and error free. These reprints will present each installment in the series with its original cover, but, unlike the Paperback Library books will present the titles in a larger 6 inch by 8 inch format, printed on archival paper and bound to be read and enjoyed without cracking or coming unbound. Each book in the series was written by William Edward Daniel Ross who used the pen name Marilyn Ross. The forerunner to today's immensely popular vampire-themed television programs and theatrical films, Dark Shadows still garners serious attention as one of the most memorable TV shows of the last fifty years. Hermes Press' complete reprint of the series makes the entire collection of these classic novels available once again to fans of gothic romance, Dark Shadows, and all of the series' classic characters.

willaful Was talking to someone who loves it ,and told her that just hearing the theme music when I was a kid used to terrify me. She told me the theme music was her ringtone. 😂 1mo

I remember watching this a really long time ago with my grandma. Decided since I watched a Dark Shadows movie the other day I‘d read the books. So this is book 1. If you are a fan of classic gothic suspense you‘ll love this story! #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious

The atmosphere is unbeatable. Dark, gloomy, well done. The characters are standard gothic tropes. There are a couple of characters unique to the book series. All men fall in love with Victoria and want to marry her after a few sentences of conversation. Elizabeth the matriarch is often the “lovely older woman“ and the younger women are all quite pretty. Overall, it's a fun book if you don't think too hard. And no Barnabas despite the cover.
