The original, classic Dark Shadows books from the Paperback Library are back with Hermes Press' archival reprint of all 32 titles in the series, beginning with the first novel, which first saw print in December, 1966. The thirtieth book in this reprint series is titled "Barnabas, Quentin, and the Mad Magician." Each book in the series was written by William Edward Daniel Ross, who used the pen name Marilyn Ross.

When Cabrini, the world-famous illusionist, comes to Collinwood, Carolyn Stoddard and her friend Beth Mayberry hope to work as his assistants. But suddenly, Carolyn's anticipation changes to fear. Cabrini turns out to be a frightening figure, shrouded in mystery. Carolyn is certain that his hypnotic eyes have pierced the soul of Beth Mayberry, making her a slave to the satanic rites he has planned.

Barnabas offers to help, but he is already under police suspicion. News of ghastly murders in the region adds to Carolyn's terror—the victim's throats have been ripped open. Everyone suspects Quentin Collins. And somewhere in the shadows, Cabrini waits and weaves a spell...

Carolyn and Beth Mayberry are determined to uncover the truth about Cabrini and his evil plans. They search for clues and evidence, and they eventually come face to face with the terrifying figure known as the Mad Magician.

The Mad Magician is a powerful and dangerous creature who has been controlling the town of Collinwood for years. He has a dark and mysterious past, and he is willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

Carolyn and Beth Mayberry must fight against the Mad Magician and his army of evil creatures to save Collinwood from destruction. They are aided by Barnabas, who is also trying to uncover the truth about Cabrini and his plans.

In the end, Carolyn and Beth Mayberry are successful in defeating the Mad Magician and saving Collinwood from destruction. They learn that the Mad Magician was actually a powerful demon who was trying to take over the world.

The original, classic Dark Shadows books from the Paperback Library are a timeless treasure that has been enjoyed by generations of fans. Hermes Press' archival reprint of all 32 titles is a must-have for any Dark Shadows fan.
