DARK SHADOWS: BLOODLUST begins!

A TV Guide listing from parallel time.

When I was a child, I had a plan to manipulate the international time zones to milk Christmas for all it was worth. As an American living in England at the time, I was fascinated by how time was tracked around the globe. With the U.K. several hours ahead of America, it seemed feasible to me that I could pry the obliged presents from my parents in one time zone, travel to America and demand equal goods for Second Christmas. Because kids are greedy. And, apparently, don't understand the logistics of intercontinental travel.

I never managed to bring my plan to fruition, but a conflict in time zones has delivered another gift a a bit earlier than expected: The first episode of DARK SHADOWS: BLOODLUST, scheduled to go live tomorrow, is now available for download. You can get it HERE.

The 13-part series features many returning cast members from the original DARK SHADOWS, as well as several new faces voices. If you pay close attention, you'll hear mine among them. Big Finish has already set up a spoiler-friendly message board to discuss the series.

You can listen to a trailer for the series below. And don't forget about SNOWFLAKE, the free prelude to BLOODLUST, which you can download HERE.
