Frid at the Iliad

My husband and I were lucky enough to spend the week of Christmas in Los Angeles; while we were there, one of my very dearest friends took us to Dark Delicacies (check it out, horror fans, you won't regret it) and The Iliad, an amazing, sizable, incredibly stocked used bookstore in Burbank.  As I perused, imagine my surprise when I encountered this image taped to the wall where the television-specific books were shelved (they have a lovely copy of The Dark Shadows Companion as of this writing for an affordable price, as well as a hardcover of the 1991 retrospective, Dark Shadows Resurrected):

The Tony and Cassandra Mysteries

I opened my birthday present about two weeks early.  So sue me.  It was worth it.

And I received ... Big Finish's new audio release, The Tony and Cassandra Mysteries, and I'm so freaking thrilled.  I'll give y'all a report later (300 minutes!), but I cannot wait ... I was seriously disappointed when they de-Cassandra-fied her at the end of The Devil Cat, so super cool that the powers that be at Big Finish found a way to revive the Tony/Cassandra dynamic, of which I am a fan.

As a special treat, here's a Tony and Cassandra flavored mock-up of a Paperback Library volume that never was.  (I played this game a few years ago myself ...)

1968: Strangling Maggie


This looks like it's from the same shoot where Jonathan Frid and KLS look like they're macking all over each other.  What a ... twist.
