Dark Shadows' two most popular characters, Barnabas Collins and Angelique, were eternally bound by love and hate. Now actress Lara Parker, Angelique herself, tells the story of how it all began.

The dashing heir of a New England shipping magnate, Barnabas Collins captures the heart of the exquisite, young Angelique amidst the sensual beauty of Martinique, her island home. But Angelique's brief happiness is doomed when Barnabas deserts her and becomes engaged to another. With this one betrayal, Barnabas unleashes an evil that will torment him for all time.

For Angelique is no ordinary woman. Raised in the mysterious black art of voodoo witchcraft, she long ago pledged her soul to darkness and became immortal. Vowing to destroy Barnabas, a vengeful Angelique damns him to eternal life as a vampire - a companion to accompany her forever. Little does Angelique understand the depth of Barnabas's fury....

This edition of Dark Shadows: Angelique's Descent has been updated by the author with an all-new final chapter.

To hear Lara Parker reading was such a comfort. Her book giving a back story to why Angilque was as she was before she was what she had became.

Lara Parker was as exemplary a writer as she was an actress. She expands upon how Barnabas Collins and Angelique Bouchard first met in Martinique, and how her unrequited love for the handsome and dashing Barnabas sealed his romantic doom via a curse.

Ms. Parker effectively narrates all the characters with passion and keeps her listeners engaged. Lara obviously loved the story of Barnabas/Angelique/Josette and relished its retelling. I generally read nonfiction but thoroughly enjoyed this gothic romance and her narration.

RIP Ms. Parker. You are missed but not forgotten. Thank you for helping keep Dark Shadows - a classic! - alive.

Excellent Writing and Narration
