Samantha's Seventies

Fan fiction is usually hit or miss. Thankfully, Adam-Michael James writes what he loves, knows the Bewitched canon and provides new ideas in a book titled Samantha's Seventies, with continued adventures of Samantha and Darrin Stephens. Fans of the television series Bewitched will enjoy these stories, additional adventures that take place after the original TV series concluded. Here, mortals and witches finally spend a Christmas together. Two Aunt Claras emerge.

What I found amusing was that references to past episodes are made in these stories and footnotes to those past episodes are provided for clarification. Adam-Michael James wrote a great book about the history of Bewitched so it comes as no surprise that he wrote this book of short stories. He also wrote a novel, I, Samantha, Take This Mortal, Darrin (2017). At this point there is literally tens of thousands of fan fiction for every television and motion-picture franchise. I know of none for Bewitched until now, which makes his book essential for any fan of the series who cannot get enough.
