Maggie pays a visit to the one place she swore she wouldn't return too and soon she will find herself under a supernatural influence, an influence that could end her own existance.

This was a good story with some nice character moments and it's nice to see Barnabas and Maggie together again but under different circumstances. Quentin and Angeligue were good in this also. Overall a simple but enjoyable story. 8/10

Good Dark Shadows story that takes place right after the last one. I like the new Barnabas and the trio occupying the house. It was great hearing Maggie again and I thought the story was haunting, although maybe wrapped up a little too easily. I am wondering what Angelique is up to, though.

A very good story with Maggie Evans trying to by trapped in an haunted book, I really enjoy these stories, they are much like listening to old radio shows, and with some of the actors from the show Dark Shadows it's like watching an old episode of the show.

Not as good as the previous entry, but still entertaining. I still don't quite understand Quentin's hostility towards Barnabas after all they had been through together all those years ago. Anyway, it was nice of them to focus on Maggie, though this story was also a bit short.

Not bad.

Not quite up to The House of Despair, but still enjoyable. It would have been better, perhaps, if it had been longer and we'd learned more about the origins of the book. Still, nice to hear the old cast together again!
