Creepy, suspenseful, spooky, scary... perfect, April 20 2003
By M. R Turner "zenresistance" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightshade (Paperback)
This is one of the best Doctor Who novels ever written. It's tightly written and superbly paced. The characters are crafted well, and the baddies are - well, the baddest. It is a genuine atmosphere story if there ever was one. Read this, and you will get the heebie-jeebies. It's fantastic.

Old TV series never fade away..., April 21 2001
By "grrreg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightshade (Paperback)
England, 1968, and Edmund Trevithick is a retired actor, best known for his lead role in the science fantasy series, 'Nightshade'. The days of fighting imaginary monsters are long gone, and Edmund has settled down in a sleepy village. And then the Doctor and Ace arrive, the lines between fact and fiction get blurred, and Trevithick finds that 'Nightshade' is more like nightmare...The publishers of Doctor Who novels finally realised that there was really nothing to their story arcs (Timewyrm and Cat's Crucible) that really warranted having them, and so a new era of more-or-less stand alone novels kicked off with this one - and a very good choice too, its an absolute corker!
Mark Gatiss has gone on from this to not only write a number of very good Doctor Who novels, but to co-author and star in the wonderful 'League of Gentlemen' series and, indeed, play the Doctor himself.
This novel is often wonderfully understated and gets deeply into the emotions of the characters, which is quite important to make the science fiction-horror elements come to life.
Hey, stop reading this review and order it!

Best Who novel ever!, Sep 22 2005
By Joe Tackett "tackettbass" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightshade (Paperback)
This one set the bar for Who novels. Written in 1992, it still is the ultimate Who book. Read this book and be scared, sad, and disturbed. The Doctor's behavior in the last few pages is sad and says a lot about who he is as a person. If you read any Who book, read this one!
