Author:Andrew Lane,Dan Starkey
Dan Starkey reads a brand new audio adventure for the Eighth Doctor, set in Victorian Edinburgh. It's the late 1890s, and newspaper journalist James MacFarlane is on the trail of a supernatural entity. He's joined in his investigations by a mysterious stranger, who calls himself the Doctor and professes to know a lot about vampires.
As gangs of locals gather zombie-like on the city's streets, James and the Doctor find themselves on a dangerous trail to find the truth. What links the secretive Lord and Lady Elmhurst to local events? What strange force is luring ordinary men and women to a local quarry? The Doctor soon realises that the answers lie in his own past...
Dan Starkey, who played the Sontaran Strax in the TV series, reads this original story by Andrew Lane featuring the Eighth Doctor, as played on TV by Paul McGann.

Dazzling, funny as hell, poignant, all the things.
—— Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Hunger: A Memoir of (My) BodyJuliet Takes a Breath is absolutely breathtaking. This is the homegirl I've always wanted to see in literature, made flesh by Rivera's pen.
—— Elizabeth Acevedo, Carnegie Award winning author of The Poet XRivera captures both the disappointments and the possibilities that come with realising that your life's solution cannot be figured out by someone else.
—— The New York Times Book ReviewReflects early adult life . . . in all its messy, confusing splendor.
—— Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA whirlwind coming-of-age story that leaves one breathless.
—— Kirkus ReviewsThe satire is impeccably managed. Cleverly rendered, yet imprecise parallels ensure there is sufficient distance for the humour to be effective… it is comic relief in the darkest sense.
—— Cora MacGregor , Cherwell NewspaperLike McEwan's other work, The Cockroach is a beautifully written novella and an in-depth critique of Britain's current political situation… I found this an exciting and inventive retelling of Kafka's classic tale, and a clever commentary on not just Brexit, but modern British politics as a whole.
—— Meg Horridge , SCANAn extraordinary book which can truly be said to break new ground
—— New YorkerThe outstanding Japanese novelist of the century...The Makioka Sisters is his greatest book
—— Edmund White, , New York Times Book ReviewSensitive, thoughtful and rich with the spoils of its author's plunder of the past

—— SpectatorA brilliant read
—— Dermot O'Leary , Waitrose WeekendA rich, imaginative, vividly characterised rite-of-passage tale
