Fall River Author, 13, Wins Writing Contest for Full-Length Novel

× Herald News ___ GateHouse Media,LLC VIEW FREE - In Google Play (MARKET://DETAILS?ID=COM.GATEHOUSEMEDIA.ID3108) Fall River author, 13, wins writing contest for full-length novel By Deborah Allard Herald News Staff Reporter Posted Aug 14, 2019 at 4:48 PM FALL RIVER — When a shadow separates from its human, its owner must embark on a quest to another dimension to find it – or there will be darkness. That is the premise of fantasy novel “Dark Shadows” by first-time author and writing contest winner Anya Costello, age 13. “It’s kind of crazy,” Costello said. “I’m definitely excited for it.” Costello submitted her 227-page novel about the errant shadow to MacKenzie Press and its Stone Soup literary magazine Secret Kids writing contest last winter. She not only won the contest and $1,000, but her novel will be the first book published under MacKenzie Press’ new imprint “For Teens, Written by Teens,” to debut in the fall of 2020. “I feel like once it’s published, it’ll feel a lot more real,” Costello said. Her mother, Audra Costello, said it was “surreal” to think that her teen daughter has written a full-length novel that will be published. Then again, Costello has been writing and “creating a world of imaginary characters” since she was 4 years old, her mother said. “She started reading young and was always interested in books.” Costello said she has filled lots of notebooks with short stories. “Dark Shadows” will be a trilogy. “I like writing different worlds and different mythologies,” she said. “I’ve written a bunch of other stories.” Costello’s idea for “Dark Shadows” came from a chat with friends when she was 10. She said it was going to be a short story just for them, but it got much bigger as the pages were filled over the next couple of years. Her first draft filled five notebooks. Costello’s mom learned it was a “real book” during a parent/teacher night when her daughter was a student at Montessori School. She hadn’t yet been invited to read her daughter’s work. “I was taken back a bit,” Audra Costello said. “I’m proud and amazed.” Besides writing, Costello enjoys art, dancing and playing violin, guitar and piano. “She’s incredibly focused in lots of different activities,” Audra Costello said, explaining that her daughter as a little girl would “disappear for long periods” to pursue one of her passions. Costello, also the daughter of Chris Costello, starts Bishop Connolly High School in the fall. She has an older sister Greta, 15. Costello said she isn’t quite sure what her plans are for college and career. She said she enjoys graphic design, music and math, as well as writing. “I definitely like writing,” she said. “It’s just fun. You’re just creating something all on your own.” “Dark Shadows” will launch at the Frankfurter Buchmesse Book Fair in Germany – the world’s largest book trade marketplace – in October 2020.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

Night is drawing nearer and nearer to Collinwood. Another man has come—a stranger who is not a stranger. Everyone pushes Willie Loomis around, like a scarecrow, and he only makes it worse busting Barnabas Collins from his casket. That’s Barnabas, looking as if he were alive, posing next to his ancient portrait at the foot of the stairs. Barnabas Collins, source of my childhood nightmares, rolls the “r” in “Victoria” with a lilt, a graceful excess, prim and courtly and swallowing blood. _________________________ Over drinks at The Blue Whale, Burke spends half an episode apologizing to Carolyn, who walks out when the samba music starts. Two great houses in Collinwood, Barnabas compares one to the pyramids of Egypt: “The plaster walls were made from crushed clamshells and horsehair.” Joe, distracted at The Blue Whale, keeps seeing that little calf drained of his blood (but doesn’t seem to notice the half-shell ashtrays).

'Dark Shadows' star Kathryn Leigh Scott returns to Collinwood March 12, 2012 Actress and author Kathryn Leigh Scott is remembered by millions of “Dark Shadows” fans as Maggie Evans and Josette DuPrés, the doomed fiancée of vampire Barnabas Collins. In its heyday, the original “Dark Shadow”s daytime series (ABC-TV, 1966-1971) attracted 20 million viewers. The spooky, literate, romance and horror-driven show had universal appeal —and came to be known as the program “kids ran home from school Courtesy Amazon to watch.” Jim Dixon Fanboys Examiner | Follow: View all 4 photos Related Photo: She and Jim Pierson have previously collaborated on five top-selling books about Dark Shadows and a coffee table book about the career of its creator, the late producer-director Dan Curtis. Their latest collaboration is “Dark Shadows: Return to Collinwood,” an in-depth look at five decades of the classic Gothic horror soap opera that made sympathetic vampire Barnabas Collins a pop culture phenomenon and prompted the big- screen revival starring longtime fan Johnny Depp, directed by Tim Burton. You don’t have to talk to Kathryn Leigh Scott long to realize she’s intelligent, cultured and sophisticated. She’s also very down-to-earth with a disarming sense of Courtesy Kathryn Leigh Scott humor, and loves to talk about the groundbreaking series that made her a pop culture icon.

FREE HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS PDF Robert Liparulo | 289 pages | 05 Dec 2009 | WestBow Press | 9781595547279 | English | Nashville, TN, United States Watch House of Dark Shadows () Online Free - Movie25 Collinwood Mansion is a fictional house featured in the Gothic horror soap opera Dark Shadows — Built in by Joshua Collins, Collinwood has been home to the Collins family—and other sometimes unwelcome supernatural visitors—since its inception. The house is located near the town of CollinsportMaine, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Almost every resident of the town is too scared to even drive by the house due to rumors and legends. The house has more than 40 rooms, most of which are closed off due to lack of inhabitants and House of Dark Shadows reasons, and more than a few secret passageways, including a room that is a gateway to a parallel timeline, a stairway through time, and one room that appears to be a playroom to some, and nothing more than a linen closet to others. Most of the household activity is centered in the drawing room and foyer and sometimes the kitchen, dining room, and study. Collinwood has, throughout its history, seemed to upset and anger its inhabitants and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to step over the threshold and through the enormous oak front doors. It has been the scene of much death, random violence, and other such misfortune. Most local people find it easier to just avoid it and the Collins family altogether. The following rooms appeared on-screen House of Dark Shadows the run of the original series:.
