DARK SHADOWS PB LIB NOVEL 24 BARNABAS QUENTIN & SERPENT

The original, classic, Dark Shadows books from the Paperback Library, return 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 twenty-fourth book in this reprint series is titled “Barnabas, Quentin and the Serpent.” Each book in the series was written by William Edward Daniel Ross who used the pen name Marilyn Ross. Professor Gerald Collins returns to Collinwood from an archaeological expedition to Mexico with several crates of animals -- giant rats, poisonous snakes and rare lizards. His daughter, Irma, turns to Barnabas for help. She fears her father also brought back a Quetzalcoatl, the terrible, cursed feathered serpent of Aztec legend. Suddenly, a mysterious murderer strikes at Collinwood, and a feathered serpent is reported flying over the area. The townspeople, already angered by the presence of Barnabas at Collinwood, now demand that Professor Collins turn his specimens over to a zoo before anyone else is killed. Irma, with the help of Barnabas, tries desperately to clear her father's name, and in doing so, stumbles upon a monster even more dreadful than the Quetzalcoatl.
