Winter of the Demon

978-1-83868-898-1

Midwinter is a magical time - a season of hope and renewal. A time to spend with friends. With both Audacity and Charley by his side, the Doctor is looking to celebrate.

But the season also brings cold and darkness, and the TARDIS travellers are about to experience three very different winter's tales...

Twenty-Four Doors in December by John Dorney (1 part)
When the TARDIS lands in London on the first of December the Doctor decides to treat his companions to a proper Christmas holiday... even down to dragging out the Baker Street Advent Calendar.

But elsewhere in the city a department store Santa is starting to have a very unnerving month. He's on a collision course with the time travellers. Is it going to be a Happy Christmas?

The Empty Man by Tim Foley (1 part)
Good evening, faithful listener. It's time for Eldridge Brinkwood, that splendid scribe of scary stories, to tell another of his tales this Christmas Eve.

Except this is a horror like no other. The Doctor and his friends have stirred something in the dark, something ruthless and relentless. And the Empty Man must feast...

Winter of the Demon by Roy Gill (1 part)
The TARDIS brings the travellers to Victorian Edinburgh. Industrialist Donald Shaw plans to transform the city with electric light, but people are dying, found horribly burned...

What ancient power has Shaw summoned? Can the Doctor prevent the Winter of the Demon?
