❤️Barnabas!

On this date in 1967, Canadian actor Jonathan Frid made his debut as Barnabas Collins on the daytime soap opera, "Dark Shadows."

At this time, 210 episodes of Dark Shadows had already aired, but with ratings on the decline, the future of the show seemed bleak. As Barnabas, Frid changed all of that. His presence not only saved the show from being cancelled, but it also vaulted Dark Shadows into iconic pop culture status. With Barnabas leading the way, the show transformed itself from a Gothic drama into a vampire sensation.

In making his first appearance, Barnabas announced himself to the Collins family as a "cousin from England." But he did not reveal his true identity, as a 175-year-old vampire who had been brought back to life.

Giving Barnabas a mix of old world charm and intense savagery, Frid would remain a fixture on Dark Shadows for the next four years, right up until its final episode in 1971.

Hmmm...interesting information about Charles Dickens and the Ghost Club.

Charles Dickens is known for a good ghost story. Some of his most famous works, including the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, revolve almost entirely around the supernatural. The English author’s interest in spirits even extended beyond the written word: He was an original member of the Ghost Club...

Timeless…

"Annabel Lee" is Edgar Allan Poe's last completed poem, published in 1849 shortly before his death. It explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory.

Though no definitive proof exists, the poem is believed to be inspired by Poe's young wife, Virginia, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. This adds a layer of personal grief and mourning to the narrative.

The poem explores the depth and permanence of the narrator's love for Annabel Lee. He claims their love transcends even death and is the envy of angels. It also grapples with the grief and despair of losing a loved one, particularly young and innocent.

The poem has been adapted into various forms, including music, film, and visual art, solidifying its place in popular culture.

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingéd seraphs in Heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my
bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
