New Dark Shadows Audios
News from Big Finish Productions:
We can now announce the imminent release of the next two dramatic readings in the Dark Shadows series.
For these two new releases, the focus is on the characters of Quentin and Angelique, played by Lara Parker and David Selby. Released this month, The Skin Walkers takes place in New York at the turn of the century, where Quentin is stalked by a mysterious cult, hell-bent on harnessing his werewolf powers.
Dark Shadows: The Path of Fate
Written by Stephen Mark Rainey
Starring Lara Parker and David Selby
“The master tells me that when Quentin Collins finds my heart, I can come back...”
Over a century ago, the first Quentin Collins built a stairway to traverse time, opening the way to countless realms of past and future. Now a new stairway has appeared at Collinwood, and the present-day Quentin is drawn to explore its dark path, forging an unlikely alliance with Angelique. Can she use her powers to help him, even at the risk of her own eternal damnation?
The legend continues in this hour-long dramatic reading, based on the classic ABC-TV series, featuring haunting music and special dramatised scenes.
Dark Shadows: The Skin Walkers
Written by Scott Handcock
Starring David Selby and Lara Parker
“There is no such thing as choice, not here… Merely the inevitable…”
New York, 1899. A city full of hopes, dreams and love… Quentin Collins has left Collinsport, hoping to leave his family and their terrible secrets behind, for ever. But something new and evil is stalking him. As the Skin Walkers seek to take command of a new century, they need Quentin at their side. Just as the
prophecy foretold…

Meanwhile, The Path of Fate, to be released in December, explores Angelique and marks the Big Finish debut of Stephen Mark Rainey, an author familiar to Dark Shadows fans from his acclaimed official novel, Dark Shadows: Dreams of the Dark.
We are also gearing up to record the final two dramatic readings, which will feature a Dark Shadows original series actor new to Big Finish, who we’ll be announcing soon.
Series two of the full-cast audio dramas is on track for release in August 2009 and will be our most ambitious Dark Shadows project to date. It’s a four-part epic, continuing our ongoing stories in grand fashion. We will be recording these new CDs once the last of our current run of Dramatic Readings are released. The first of the new stories is tentatively called The Banished Creatures and picks up directly from the exciting final scenes of The Rage Beneath.
The Skin Walkers and The Path of Fate are both available to pre-order now.
