Each book is a stand-alone story and to the best of my knowledge there are no overlaps or crossovers between books. The series consists of roughly fifteen book written by various authors.

The Dark Forces is a series of teen horror novels that was published by Bantam Books in the early 1980s. In order for me to get my fix of the spookies, I had to turn to – The Dark Forces! Oh no! (Ohhh yes!) What are the Dark Forces? Being that the early 80s were the dawning of my young adult years, Twilight had not yet set in (And from what I’ve heard about the series, that’s a good thing.), While adolescence was a time of strong emotions, I never got the Goosebumps over the whole thing. I didn’t have Harry Potter when I was growing up, only Colonel Potter on M*A*S*H reruns. They had books that featured ghosts, witches, vampires and other cool and creepy things. Growing up, they had all kinds of options when it came to reading young adult stories about the supernatural. Here’s to the kids of not too long ago yesterday.
