Barnabas, Quentin and the Haunted Cave

We start out with Barnabas no longer a vampire. Harriet Turnbridge is the leading female character. Some one is out to destroy her and her relatives. Some relatives are already dead, their throats ripped open. To make matters worse she sees some kind of being that has a hook as a hand.

Elizabeth holds a party at Collinswood. Barnabas and Harriet talk and she thinks that Quentin is the killer. There are two other major characters, one of which she suspects of being Quentin. Somehow during a couple of her dreams she and Barnabas are able to interact although, again somehow, one of the dreams causes Barnabas to revert to being a vampire.

Then there's also a series of caves underground where she and Barnabas get in trouble. Hare helps them escape. The attacks continue and the townspeople are alarmed that Quentin might be back and they also turns against Barnabas since a girl seems to have been attacked by a vampire.

It's a pretty wild story and very interesting but there's no explanation of why Barnabas starts off not being a vampire. His reversion to being a vampire due to a dream is rather reaching for things and not actually necessary to the story. Still, neither problem serious damages the story.
