Nearly a decade before the publication of Anne Rice’s extraordinary novel Interview With the Vampire, a character named Barnabas Collins (a reluctant bloodsucker) was injected into the storyline of a gloomy soap opera and made Dark Shadows a household name. Today’s “Kartoon” celebrates the 50th anniversary of the series … this is also the same summer that Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, and Dr. John Polidori (Byron’s physician) were all gathered at the Villa Diodati 200 years earlier near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, from whence came the first English literary vampire tale and the dream that would inspire Frankenstein (or, The Modern Prometheus). This is the Summer of Shadows! #cartoon #comic #dark #gothic #supernatural #darkshadows #annerice #interviewwiththevampire #vampire #frankenstein #horror #villadiodati #1816 #illustration #kartoonsbykline #art #artwork
