Maggie Evans visits the Collins family graveyard and is transported back in time to the year 1880. There she awakes, an amnesia victim at a Collinwood she barely recognizes. All that seems familiar are the house itself and the family's guest, Barnabas Collins.

Slowly Maggie learns she is trapped in a nightmare. She has fallen into the hands of Dr. Giles Collins, whose mysterious experi- ments with human blood have already taken several lives. Now she is slated to be his next victim.

Though Maggie is warned by the others that he is a vampire, she turns to Barnabas for help. But Barnabas, too, is in danger from the evil doctor. Will he live long enough to save her?

THE PHANTOM AND BARNABAS COL- LINS is the tenth in a series of thrilling novels based on ABC-TV's popular suspense DARK SHADOWS.     ACBX5
