In and Out of the Shadows is a collection of pictures, both black and white and color, from the long, distinguished career of actor David Selby. The book is separated into sections from his careers on the stage, in film, and in television. It includes a list of his many professional appearances and is interspersed with written recollections. This is an entertaining history of an actor's life, beginning in the years when the theatre scene in New York was full of work for young actors, when there were more dramas on television than reality shows, and when film was alive with great stories. Featuring many pictures from Dark Shadows, it moves steadily to the present, acknowledging Mr. Selby's work on public radio and his busy writing and producing career.
Recognized for his portrayals of Quentin Collins on Dark Shadows and Richard Channing on Falcon Crest, David Selby was born and raised in West Virginia. He received B.S. and M.A. degrees from West Virginia University and a Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University.
His poetry collections include In and Out of the Shadows, featuring photos from his acting career, My Mother's Autumn, and Happenstance. A Better Place combines memoir and social commentary. Novels include Lincoln's Better Angel and The Blue Door. My Shadowed Past recounts his time on Dark Shadows.
