The supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows maintains a devoted following decades after it left the airwaves. From 1983 to 2016, many cast and crew members attended annual fan conventions called Dark Shadows Festivals on the East and West Coasts. After discovering Dark Shadows in 1998, author Amanda Desiree began to attend the Festivals and other gatherings, including Dark Shadows Weekends, Dark Shadows Halloween parties, film screenings, and author talks featuring the Dark Shadows actors. Further, Desiree documented her experiences at these events to share with fellow fans.

Collected from across the Internet in one place for the first time, here are Desiree's original reports from Dark Shadows-related events spanning 2001 to 2024. These reports summarize actors' question-and-answer sessions, cast reunions, video presentations, and fan tribute performances. They feature anecdotes from such beloved actors as John Karlen, Lara Parker, Christopher Pennock, and Jonathan Frid. This book brings the Dark Shadows convention experience to life and is sure to delight fans of the series, whether they've never attended conventions themselves or whether they personally remember the excitement of these events.
