The Secret of Barnabas Collins

Another book in the Dark Shadows paperback series, this one centers around Barnabas. A little backstory is given and an explanation for a place called Stormcliff. It's revealed that Barnabas had returned to Collinwood several times before the events on the show. One of these involved him falling for Lady Clair Duncan, and most of the book is told from her point of view.

She was due to marry Barnabas but things fell through. She knows Barnabas' secret. She meets another vampire and has to deal with him and is told that any future with Barnabas would be a dark one. Her view on Barnabas changes and a house ends up being burned down.

Frankly, these stories in this series are all quite good, at least of the ones I have read so far. They fit the series, and they are very interesting in themselves. Definitely worth getting.
