Product Description

Synopsis
China, 1800, and the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are attending the English Trade Concession in Canton. A supposedly harmless relic known as the Spirit Gate becomes active and whisks Jamie and Zoe into the future. The Doctor follows in the TARDIS and arrives in England, 1900, where the descendents of an English merchant from 1800 are gathering. Among their number is a young man called Carnacki, an expert in all things mystical, and before long he is helping the Doctor investigate a series of bizarre murders in the house. The spirits of the past have returned, and when the Doctor discovers that the house and surrounds have literally been taken out of space and time, he realises that their attacker may not be all they seem.

Nice idea comes close to success, 26 Nov 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Doctor Who: Foreign Devils (Doctor Who Novellas) (Hardcover)

The idea of crossing the world of Doctor Who with that of William Hope Hodgson is an intriguing one, given that Hodgson's habit of treating the supernatural as though it were undiscovered science made him the Edwardian Nigel Kneale. Unfortunately Hodgson's occult detective Carnacki plays no particular role in the plot, and the weird happenings in the story are never explained. Nevertheless, Andrew Cartmel creates some striking images, and his characterisation of the Doctor is as good as one might expect from his past association with the series, so the book is not without rewards. Andy Lane's "All-Consuming Fire", which combines the worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who remains the best attempt at this sort of thing.

The book includes an introduction by Mike Ashley about William Hope Hodgson and features one of Hodgson's Carnacki stories (The Whistling Room) as an appendix.
