Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
 
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS),
announces the following breaking news in this Online News Update "bulletin."
 
**** JONATHAN FRID READS A CLASSIC POEM
 ****  SPECIAL OFFER FOR DS AUDIODRAMAS
 

---- JONATHAN FRID'S CHRISTMAS READING GIFT TO YOU, THE FANS
 
Jonathan (Barnabas, Bramwell) has added a special holiday-season treat on his official website  www.jonathanfrid.com
 
He presents a dramatic reading of the iconic "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" / "The Night Before Christmas." The descriptive poem, long attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, was first published in 1823. It is considered a major cultural influence on the popular images and ideas of Santa Claus' annual visits to homes around the world.
 
Jonathan, wearing a grey-toned plaid shirt, looks into the camera as he introduces "a poem most of you no doubt have come in touch with one Christmas occasion or another over the years." He then begins to read. As he's done with his dramatic readings since he began them in the 1980s, he flavors the familiar words with his vocal range, facial expressions, and gestures.
 
Whether you know and love the poem or not, its phrases and details are part of the common holiday experience. SG thanks Jonathan for sharing his own interpretation. SG also hopes all fans enjoy it by visiting     http://www.jonathanfrid.com/New%20Site/news.htm
 

--- DS AUDIODRAMAS SALE
 
Big Finish Productions tells SG it "is running a special Christmas sale, with selected titles offered at discount prices. The first series of full-cast DS audiodrama CDs and Lara Parker's audiobook of her out-of-print 1998 novel "Angelique's Descent" can be purchased at special reduced rates from now until Jan. 15."
