The DS Novel That Wasn't...The Labyrinth of Souls, pt 3

[Mark Rainey]

Well, since it looks like most folks are enjoying it, I'm going to go ahead and post the final complete chapter of DARK SHADOWS: THE LABYRINTH OF SOULS. This is as far as the actual writing progressed. I do have a detailed outline, complete with chapter breaks and some dialogue, that covers about the next third of the book; beyond that, there are only scant notes. If I have a chance, I may condense these into a readable synopsis and make it available to anyone who specifically requests it. I will not, however, give away the ending.

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who has taken the time to post comments here. It would be great if something should happen with the series one day and the book actually come to fruition. However, realistically, I don't think we can count on it.

I don't know if anyone picked up on it, but I've posted the title of the book here as The Labyrinth of Souls, while on the manuscript itself, it's titled The Labyrinth of Dreams. The latter more accurately represents the storyline, I think, but since dreams was used in our first title, I didn't particularly want to repeat it.

So, without further ado.... Here's the third chapter. Enjoy.

This just keeps getting better!  Based on these 3 chapters, I think this has the potential to be even better than Dreams of the Dark, great as that was.  Here's my request to receive the synopsis.  And again, thanks so much for making these completed chapters available to us.

I finally had the chance to read your chapter, Mark, and have to concur with Mike they just keep getting better!  I really like the tension in the story and the characters ring true, too.  

I look forward to reading the continuation!  

Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Heh heh, thanks for the requests; it's all much appreciated. Since I don't have anything ready as far as the synopsis goes at this point, I'll just post a note here when I do, and then perhaps put it on the Web space as well. I can't promise anything very soon, so y'all just gonna have be patient and don't hold yer breath too long. That can lead to unpleasant side effects.

Rats! I hated to read that 3 chapters is all we're going to get to read of your new book!
I want to know what was it Julia kept seeing flit through
the shadows. I want to know if Quentin has to suffer
the curse again. And why? The 3 chapters were very good Please put me on the list for the synopis too

Please add my name to your list for a synopsis.
Chapter 3 was just starting to evolve into the quirkiness that is Dark Shadows. If time allows, please continue your story.
