A two-hour adventure celebrating 50 years of Dark Shadows!

The year is 1767. Young widow Laura Murdoch Stockbridge is to marry Joshua Collins, heir to the Collins fortune. Meanwhile, Joshua’s sister Abigail is in love with disreputable sailor Abraham Harkaway.

But the course of true love never did run smooth… especially when the witch Angélique Bouchard is around.

For Angélique has been sent back in time. And she has one mission…

To destroy the Collins family forever.

Featuring cast from the original television series, Blood and Fire is a special audio drama to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Dark Shadows.

Recorded to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the "Dark Shadows" tv show, "Blood and Fire" showcases its history in subtle ways. The witch Angelique Bouchard is tasked with going back in time to destroy the Collins family when it all started. While the players may have changed, the family is ever as it was with all the secrets and bickering. To counter Angelique is the young widow Laura Murdoch Stockbridge that discovers her powers as the eternal phoenix. I loved the contrast between Laura and Angelique -- both gifted with power, but very different attitudes towards using it.
