From the publisher: "The Dark Shadows Journal is Europe's only Dark Shadows fanzine. Since its inception in 1996, it has earned a reputation as one of the most innovative and original Dark Shadows fanzines, with many subscribers on both sides of the Atlantic. Each issue is at least 36 pages long, packed with news, reviews, exclusive interviews, original fiction and features. Our readers include Diana Millay, Donna McKechnie and Chris Pennock, amongst others, whilst Kathryn Leigh Scott, Lara Parker, the late Louis Edmonds and Marie Wallace all have contributed to past issues. One of our most popular features is The Life and Times of Grayson Hall, a series of in-depth biographical features illustrated with rare photographs. Frame-by-Frame is our acclaimed series of detailed 'Making Of' articles, and the Collinsport Enquirer offers a humorous outlook on the show." [1]
In 1998, an online companion, Dark Shadows Journal Online, was created. It can be found at Darkshadows.co.uk or Collinwood.net.
