Well, I can certainly live with the delay in Matthew's story if it means if we will hear it six months later alongside more new ones! What exceptional news this is. I was hoping the Dark Shadows short stories would be a continuing thing - looks like it is going to be. Very happy indeed. Pre-ordered this, naturally.

So exciting. It looks like 2016 will be a great year for Dark Shadows audios.

Haunting Memories now pre-ordered as also noted in the Today's Purchases thread. I usually don't double post about purchases but in this case I wanted to a: brag, and b: set a bad example for others to follow. ;-)

Interesting to note that there are three stories where the contributors are all female and one where both are male.

I absolutely love the sound of these. To get actual cast members writing and performing their own work is beyond words. How completely wonderful. Cannot wait for this and future releases. Dark Shadows has once more become my most eagerly awaited BF release.

I don't think BF has said why Matthew Waterhouse's story has been postponed for a second time, other than that it has. I wonder if we'll find out why....wasn't it originally postponed from 'Echoes of the Past' because it fit the holiday season of 'Haunting Memories' better? Or did I dream that?

And now a news story and trailer. Ahead of next week's Hallowe'en, we're pleased announce the full line-up of December’s Dark Shadows short story collection Haunting Memories... Dark Shadows – Haunting Memories features four new stories read by members of the original cast – with Angelique herself, Lara Parker, writing for Big Finish for the first time. The stories will feature subtle use of music and sound design, and a trailer can be heard on the story page. “I’m drawn to stories with detailed descriptions and emotions that enhance characters, settings and situations to create a complete world the reader can dive into,” says Robin. “Dark Shadows has lots to offer: human and beyond-just-human characters, family secrets, hidden yearnings, tragic love, time travel, supernatural elements and plenty more. I also like expanding beyond: What happened before, after, or to someone else, “what if?”, “missing scenes,” or “fill in the cracks.” The intriguing audio dramas certainly do all those very well! Hell Wind, set during an actual event, is about the duPres family on Martinique. It explores a key first meeting that sets the stage for a lifelong relationship filled with twists and turns. In writing numerous stories and poems set in the 1795-96 flashback, I researched and also traveled to Martinique. There I stayed at a restored sugar plantation, visited the 1763 birthplace of Marie-Josephe-Rose Tascher de La Pagerie – better known as Napoleon Bonaparte’s wife Empress Josephine – and talked with an expert on 1700s local life styles and history. I hope what I saw, heard and felt there help make this story come alive for the listeners.” Communion, written by Adam Usden and performed by Jerry Lacy, features the first ever appearance of Elias Trask. “After penning The Happier Dead a couple of years ago, I leapt at the chance to contribute another story in the Dark Shadows legacy, especially in such a momentous year,” says Usden. “And being able to write a brand new Trask for Jerry Lacy to sink his teeth into was a real treat. Elias was so much fun to write, and adopting the style of his unfiltered thoughts gave me such an intimate and blackly comic form to work with. Like his grandfather and his son, Elias is an utterly deluded religious hypocrite, who, like all the best liars, is most accomplished at deceiving himself. Although as for what happens to him, I’m not sure anybody deserves that…" The Ghost Ship, written and performed by Dark Shadows star Lara Parker, tells the story of the witch Angelique meeting the Widows of Widow’s Hill. “I was delighted to be asked to submit a story to Big Finish based on the character I played on Dark Shadows, the witch Angelique, and to record it as well,” says Parker. “I hope you enjoy it.” The final story in the collection features Marie Wallace telling the story of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard meeting a man who looks remarkably similar to the long-lost love of her life. It’s written by Kay Stonham, a writer new to Big Finish but certainly not new to writing for radio. "This is my first Dark Shadows story, and I found writing it both a joy and a challenge. Although a very experienced radio writer I have not written an audio piece for one voice before and found the opportunity to explore secret backstory and internal emotion this affords very exciting. The story itself is based on my experience of seeing a familiar but long lost face in a dream. The conflicting feelings of exhilaration, grief and loss I experienced when I woke left a profound effect on me, and it is these feelings that weave so perfectly into Elizabeth's moving backstory. The wistful atmosphere of this story stayed with me for days after writing it, I hope it will stay with the listeners too!" Dark Shadows: Haunting Memories is available to pre-order now and will be released in December, 2016.

So that's..... circa 1780, 1861, 1968, and... 1980s?

I pre-ordered mine within minutes of reading it was available! Love this news!!! Check this out....I preordered Haunting Memories way back on June 7th. I only realized today that sage pay had canceled my order upon checkout! No idea why. So, I ordered again today, and got hit with an exorbitant "per order charge" that I have never seen or had before! And by the way, it was NOT on my order from June 7th that got canceled without my knowledge. I may have missed an announcement or explanation but I honestly don't know how I could have--I read everything from BF. Ugh! It ends up making Haunting Memories a full $10 US more than Echoes of the Past!! And also makes me question preordering when items become available, and instead, waiting until I have five or six to purchase! Seems almost like a slap to longtime supporters who have purchased EVERY release. Very sad. I realize this is not an official BF forum, and will send an inquiry to them directly. My only purpose here was to see if others have experienced this...and if I did indeed miss something!
