Dark Shadows: The Labyrinth of Souls
By Stephen Mark Rainey
An Unearthly Horror Is Unleashed at Collinwood in This Thrilling Dark Shadows Novel!
After an absence of many years, Quentin Collins returns to Collinwood, hoping to free himself of the curse of the werewolf once and for all — or lose his life in the attempt. His longtime friend, Dr. Julia Hoffman, commits herself to aiding him in his quest, as does his cousin, Barnabas Collins, who suffers from his own supernatural affliction.
However, an almost-forgotten specter from Quentin’s past follows him to his family home and, seeking vengeance on the Collins family, unleashes a monstrous creature to destroy them, one by one. The unearthly horror first attacks Quentin’s lovely cousin Carolyn, with devastating consequences. For Quentin, the cost of saving her — and the rest of his loved ones — may be his very soul.
Please Note
Dark Shadows: The Labyrinth of Souls is a full-length novel based on the ABC-TV Dark Shadows serial (1966–1971). I wrote the treatment for this novel for HarperCollins shortly after the publication of Dark Shadows: Dreams of the Dark (co-written with Elizabeth Massie) in 1999. However, when HarperCollins sold its media tie-in division (HarperPrism), the Dark Shadows novel series met an untimely death, and Labyrinth was left in limbo.
In 2002, I completed the novel, given a glimmer of hope that the series would be resurrected; however, it was not to be. Therefore, I have decided to make it available here in e-format, at no charge, with the understanding that it is to be considered a work of fan fiction only.
