Big Finish are now accepting online subscriptions for the next series of Dark Shadows dramatic readings, which begins this month with Curse of the Pharaoh, starring Nancy Barrett and Marie Wallace.

Curse of the Pharaoh is the first in a new series of six Dark Shadows dramatic readings, with the remaining five titles following monthly from January-May 2010. January's release is written by D Lynn Smith and will star Lara Parker and Kathryn Leigh Scott as Angelique and Josette duPres. "After recording Echoes of Insanity earlier this year, Lara Parker suggested we do an Angelique and Josette story with a twist," says series producer Stuart Manning.
