Doctor Who

There is no such thing as a good night. Maybe, as you fall asleep, you can hide away in dreams. Or so you'd like to think. Because, as every child knows, there are bad dreams. And bad dreams are a glimpse into the real world - where the monsters are. And the things in your nightmares that are worse than monsters: the creeping black memories that can bring fear and pain and blood. Even here, today, tonight ... in the most ordinary of homes, and against the most ordinary people, the terror will strike. An old man will tell his last ghost story... A young family will encounter a deathless horror... And the Doctor and his friends will uncover the terrible secret of the Deadstone Memorial.

Trevor Baxendale was born in Liverpool in 1966. This is his fifth Doctor Who novel for BBC Books. He has contributed short stories to various anthologies published by BBC Books and Big Finish Productions. He has also written the scripts for two audio plays produced by Big Finish. He is married with two children. His wife already knows more about Doctor Who than she wants to, and his children may be the only 8- and 5-year-olds in their school who can identify a Dalek, let alone a Cyberman or a Zygon or even the various Doctors. Hopefully, that will soon change ... 2005 is nearly here.
