A gothic mystery where Barnabas Collins protects Diana from an invisible force at Collinwood.
This volume examines the intersection of romantic devotion and supernatural terror within the confines of Collinwood. Ross structures the narrative around the arrival of a ballet troupe, using their presence to heighten the isolation and vulnerability of the characters. The central conflict arises when Diana Samson becomes the target of an unseen attacker, forcing Barnabas to confront both personal fear and external danger. The text explores themes of love under siege and the ambiguity of ghostly legends. It does not offer solutions to modern anxieties but rather provides a structured puzzle involving opened graves and murdered performers. The focus remains tightly on the relationship between Barnabas and Diana as they face an unknown entity that challenges his abilities.
Published in January 2020 by Paperback Classics, this work revives interest in the 1970s gothic romance tradition. It appeals to American readers nostalgic for classic paperback mysteries and supernatural fiction from that era.

Reader rating
Ross effectively structures the narrative around the arrival of a ballet troupe, heightening isolation and vulnerability among the characters. The text explores themes of love under siege, blurring the line between a human adversary and a spectral enemy through opened graves and lingering legends. While it does not offer solutions to modern anxieties, it provides a compelling mystery where Barnabas must determine the nature of the threat to save Diana. The book succeeds as a traditional gothic tale, offering atmospheric dread and romantic suspense rather than visceral horror. It suits readers who prefer elegant, contained mysteries over explicit violence or complex psychological deconstruction.
