Title: Dark Shadows sighting--sort of OT
Post by: The Late Mrs. Collins on July 23, 2002, 06:25:55 AM

My mother was reading a book and had to share a passage with me. I thought I'd share it with you.
It's from Alex Kava's Split Second.

Tully wiped his forehead and suddenly realized that all the chirping birds and rustling forest creatures had also gone silent.  Maybe they knew something their human counterparts did not.  Even the wind had settled down.  The thunder rumbled closer and flashes of lightning streaked across the horizon beyond the wall of trees.

"Perfect," Tully whispered to no one in particular.  "Isn't it bad enough that this place already looks like something out of Dark Shadows?"

"Dark Shadows?" O'Dell whispered back.

"Yeah, the old TV show." He glanced at her, only now she had a blank look on her face. "You know, with Barnabus [sic] Collins and The Hand?"  There was still no glint of recognition.  "Forget it.  You're too young."

"Doesn't sound like I missed much."

"Hey, watch it.  Dark Shadows was a classic."

Oh, it's just another crime thriller.  It's part of a series about an FBI profiler named Maggie O'Dell.
