The Foe of Barnabas Collins

The story takes place back in 1910. A woman named Paula Collins has married a man named Chris and they are moving near to Collinwood in another old building called Cranshaw. She briefly meets Barnabas on the boat over.

It turns out Chris has a servant named Abel who strikes her as being evil. It turns out to be a lot worse than she expected as, at night, she hears the sound of wolves howling. That wouldn't be a problem except there are not supposed to be any wolves at all in that area.

Matters get a whole lot worse as she finds that Chris is quite nasty. Before long she finds out he is much, much worse than just nasty. Various people die and before long she finds out the truth. Barnabas is trying to help her through this but she wonders if he can save her from a fate worse than death.

There are also two important characters from Barnabas' past, one who has appeared numerous times and the other has never appeared in the books in the form the character does.

Another good book in the series.
