Books
The Deluge
This is Volume 2 of the Curtin translation, first published in 1898. This is NOT the more modern Kuniczak translation of 1991 that many people prefer, despite what you can see as the book cover on the screen.
The Secret of Anatomy
David Fox is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. One day, whilst walking on the beach, he finds a bottle containing a note at the sea's edge. The note, written in 1953, is from a boy named John Marshall who claims his father is trying to kill him.
Doctor Who
The Sixth Doctor and Frobisher find themselves in trouble as a nightmare and a visit to Antarctica result in them stumbling upon the rogue Time Lord Astrolabus. Astrolabus has stolen the forbidden star charts from the ancient cosmic horror known only as the Voyager. Traveling the universe seeking to retrieve what was stolen from him, the Doctor finds himself being made the patsy for Astrolabus, who flees before the Voyager arrives. The Doctor barely escapes with his life as the Voyager vows to retrieve what was stolen from him and to hunt the Doctor until he gets his star maps back.
The Lonely Places
Struggling to come to terms with the devastating impact of long-time domestic abuse on the part of her boyfriend, Ruth Gemmill must confront the demons of her past to rescue her beloved brother, Alex, who has mysteriously vanished.
Toady
Welcome to the Horror Club: a world of werewolves and poltergeists, psychopaths and shape changers, the un-quiet and the living dead. A fantasy world, of course, for Richard, Robin and Nigel, the club’s members, are ordinary boys from ordinary families, who just happen to share a taste for the macabre in films and videos, books and comics. And then they admit a fourth member to their club — Toady, a far from ordinary boy with a taste for the macabre in real life. From the moment he lures the others into a nerve-jangling seance in a house with a chilling reputation, their lives are blighted by worse horror than they have ever imagined. In a fusion of nightmare and reality, terror stalks the familiar streets of a sleepy seaside town and waits to invade the safest home. The pervasive stain of evil spreads like ripples on a pond, leaving a trail of sacrilege and death in its wake. One by one the members of the Horror Club are overcome and forced into a netherworld, halfway between illusion and reality. It is up to the final member to fight alone against the evil they have unleashed — until, in the final battle, he is joined by an unexpected ally… Complete with Printed Paper Case binding as well as a brand-new introduction by the author, Toady is a staggering achievement. BFS Award-nominated author Mark Morris takes all the established horror conventions and reworks them in a way that is completely fresh and inimitably his own, in this, his first novel.
Ghosts Of India
India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos — a country torn apart by internal strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events. Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of "half-made men" who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their eyes should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours. What is the real truth behind the "half-made men"? Why is Gandhi's role in history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth?
Doctor Who - The Bodysnatchers
It is London, 1894. Amid the fog, cold and degradation, a gruesome business is being conducted. The bodies of the dead are being stolen from their graves — men, women and children alike — for the sinister purpose of a very mysterious gentleman. When the Eighth Doctor and Sam arrive, they are witness to a horrifying scene in the evil-smelling fog: something rises up from the filthy waters of the Thames and devours a man — a man terrified for his life and on the run from the devil himself... Teaming up with an old friend, pathologist Professor George Litefoot, the Doctor is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Together with Sam, they discover there is a far graver threat facing London then just earthly grave robbers. Deadly alien beings the Doctor has encountered before are at work, and they bring a whole new twist to the word bodysnatchers...
