In "Tuesdays and Thursdays" by Cody Schell, Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes finds himself encountering psychic medium Janet Findley over and over and over again on Tuesdays as though fate were bringing them together. Stokes is completely put out by this and Janet is annoyed because Stokes is mean about it. Fortunately they figure out what is going on and put a wrong to right. Narrated by Matthew Waterhouse (Adric from Doctor Who), he did a good job of capturing the character of Stokes (played in the TV show by Thayer David).
In "The Velvet Room" by Antonio Rastelli, Gerard Stiles (resurrected in Carriage of the Damned) is with Hallie Stokes in 1974, and appear to be be attempting to defeat all manner of supernatural forces, but Gerard's resurrected body is starting to rot. One night in New Orleans they get an invitation to the Velvet Room and attain their heart's desire. All they need to do is visit three times and tell the story of their lives and it will be theirs. This was an effective horror story. It was well-narrated by James Storm, the actor who played Gerard Stiles in the Dark Shadows TV show.
"Behind Closed Doors" by Paul Phipps was more about man's inhumanity than monsters, although it certainly had a monster in the form of a ghost. Marie Wallace is Jessica Griffin, on the cusp of happiness with husband-to-be WIllie Loomis, but haunted by the memory (and the ghost) of her abusive and controlling late husband. This was an okay story, but my least favorite in the collection. It didn't feel like it really propelled the Jessica Griffin story forward much (but Dark Shadows often did that, so not that big of a deal). I didn't dislike the story, I just liked the other three better.
"The Suitcase" by Alan Flanagan is a tale of Cyrus and Sabrina Longworth, owners of the Collinsport Inn. A mysterious guest arrives claiming to be a travelling cosmetics seller, but her suitcase seems to be otherworldly and grants wishes... but not in a good way. It was narrated by Lisa Richards, who played Sabrina in Dark Shadows on television.
Not a bad bunch of stories, linked by a common theme, but mostly of interest to people familiar with Dark Shadows.
