It is almost Halloween
in the sleepy New England town of Blackwood Falls. Leaves litter lawns and
sidewalks, paper skeletons hang in the windows, and carved pumpkins leer from
front porches.
The Doctor and Martha
soon discover that something long-dormant has awoken, and this will be no
ordinary Halloween. What is the secret of the ancient tree and the book
discovered tangled in its roots? What rises from the churchyard at night,
sealing the lips of the only witness? Why are the harmless trappings of
Halloween suddenly taking on a creepy new life of their own?
As nightmarish creatures
prowl the streets, the Doctor and Martha must battle to prevent both the
townspeople and themselves from suffering a grisly fate. . .
Featuring the Doctor and
Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC
Television.
I have put the synopsis
from the actual book, as the person who wrote it has done a great job of
concise description. From the start of
this book which is always best read on a dark and moody autumn night, you will
find yourself transported into this small New England Town.
Quickly the story sucks
you in, and you find yourself screaming err please don't do that or that is
going to hurt. I have never really found
myself so engrossed in a book until now.
Mark's portrayal of The Doctor and Martha is spookily accurate and
visions of the TV series flashes between your eyes and you start hearing the
voices.
The story doesn't skip
on that horror vibe as well, which is very refreshing and you find yourself
looking over your shoulder and hearing creaks and footsteps in the house.
I would advise everyone
to read this story and jump and squeal with delight. Thank you Mark in this book you have done
wonders and it deserves to be read.
