Product Description

Product Description
Two of the most popular "Dark Shadows" characters, Barnabas Collins and Angelique, were eternally bound by love and hate. Now, actress Lara Parker, Angelique herself, tells how it all began.

A passion born in ecstasy...

The dashing heir of a New England shipping magnate, Barnabas Collins captured the heart of the exquisite, young Angelique amidst the sensual beauty of Martinique, her island home. But Angelique's brief happiness is doomed when Barnabas cruelly deserts her and becomes engaged to another. Little, though, does Barnabas know of the evil his betrayal will unleash...

And destroyed by jealousy and betrayal

For Angelique is no ordinary woman. Raised in the mysterious black art of voodoo witchcraft, she has long ago pledged her soul to darkness and become immortal. Vowing to torment and destroy Barnabas, a vengeful Angelique damns him to eternal life as a vampire--a companion to accompany her forever. Little, though, does Angelique understand the depth of Barnabas's fury...

Vividly imagined, grippingly written, each "Dark Shadows" novel is filled with the eroticism, supernatural suspense, and spellbinding storytelling that has made this classic daytime serial a timeless hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read For All Dark Shadows Fans, 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
The basic theme of Dark Shadows has always been that people are faced with an inexorable fate, trapped in roles written by others, and though they may try to free themselves, fate will always win. Lara Parker continues this theme in her new book. As a child Angelique is pre-ordained to become a tool of the devil. No matter what she does, she cannot escape her fate and her journey from a little girl to an immortal is fascinating, well thought-out and surprising. Best of all is the section dealing with Barnabas' transformation into a vampire. If you are fan of the series, you know everything that happened during this beloved flashback. This time, you see all of the events through Angelique's eyes and it is a very different view. Also, the book gives Angelique a much stronger motivation for her undying hatred for the Collins family. Lara hints that this book is the first in a series. I hope that this is so and I definitely plan to devour any forthcoming books. The book ends in 1971, so Lara has a lot of writing to do to catch us up with life in Collinsport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book very wonderful, 4 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This book is a very good and intersting book. I also brought my book to the Ds Festival 1999 and got in signed by Miss Parker. I was the first in line she also might have been amazed because i am 11 years old and i am enjoying this book. It is so worth buying. It is writing in way that when you read it on the first page you want to finsh it. It anwsers many questions for Dark Shadows fans who have not seen the first few epiosodes of Dark Shadows or ones who didn't understand it. This book is also 100 percent on the truth side maybe even higher because it is told by the star you lived the part in 1960's soap oprea.I think everyone who enjoyed waching Dark Shadows when they were young or who are watching it now should read this book . In the opion of me an 11 year old girl that loves Dark shadows i think that even this book is 100 dollars or you have to wait 8 hours in line to get this book it is very worth it . It is like an Alamanac which awnsers all your questions you could ever have ( from the rather stupid ones to the intellgent ones) about Barnabas and Angelique. So this book is a million percent worth it. Miss Parker did a great job on this book highly recommed to any clueless about Baranabas and Angelique Dark Shadows Fan

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful horor/historic romance for old and new DS fans, 27 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I loved this book. I don't usually care for fan fiction or books based a television show but this is the exception. Only Lara Parker could write such a captivating life story of the character she brought to life on Dark Shadows. I look forward to future books.
