5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the audio dramas, July 4, 2009

This is the best of the audio dramas done by Big Finish. Although Quentin (David Selby) figures very prominently in the plot, the tale principally revolves about Angelique (Lara Parker). Written by Stephen Mark Rainey, the storyline provides great insight into Angelique's character. Both Parker and Selby give superb performances.

Chronologically, the story apparently takes place after the audio drama RETURN TO COLLINWOOD. The plot ties very neatly into the "stairwy through time" storyline from the original series.

Rainey is well known horror writer who often uses elements of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos in his fiction. Although full of Lovecratian allusions, there is only one overt Mythos reference, a ataue of the god Dagon. The plot also brings backs Diabolos, the version of Satan from the TV series. Diabolos is served by Hounds of Hell, who are very reminiscent of the Hounds of Tindalos in the Cthulhu Mythos.

5.0 out of 5 stars entertaining, August 1, 2009

Angelique and Quentin are my favorite Dark Shadows characters. I loved hearing Lara Parker and David Selby read the story. I found the story engaging and easy to visualize. I bought two of the stories; I will probably buy more. Also, I like that fact that it's only about an hour long.
