Praise for Dark Shadows: The Salem Branch:

“Inspired by the 1970s television show Dark Shadows, Parker writes a layered story that catalogues not only Collins’ marital misgivings after falling for mysterious flower child Antoinette but also a large subplot dealing with one of Collins’ ancestors during the infamous Salem witch trials.”
