Publisher Description
"Being scared is the least of your worries."
The Shining Men are everywhere. You spot them out of the corner of your eye. Abnormally tall, with long lank hair, blank faces and blazing eyes. If they catch you, they'll drag you away to who knows where. No one is safe. They're on every street corner. Waiting. Watching. Shining bright.
Of course it's a hoax. It has to be, right? It started as a joke, a prank for Halloween. Then it went viral. Idiots dressing up as monsters. Giving folk a scare. Silly masks and fright wigs. No one gets hurt. Because bogeymen aren't real.
Until people start going missing and lights burn in the darkness. Burning like eyes.
But help is on its way, in the form of a strange man called the Doctor and his friend, Bill. The Doctor will keep us safe. The Doctor will stop the monsters. Unless the monsters stop the Doctor first...
An original novel featuring the Twelfth Doctor and Bill as played by Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie.
Customer Reviews
Surprisingly enjoyable
I wasn’t expecting much from this. I know these books are written for a slightly younger audience (12-15?) and I’m a young adult, so I fully expected not to like it. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, there are a few moments that were a bit silly (several jokes about hashtags in one chapter, for example) but overall it was very well written and I enjoyed it a lot. The original characters were lots of fun and the descriptions of the Invisible were fantastic. Easily my favorite of the DW books I’ve read, and yes that includes The Stone Rose. I liked this better than The Stone Rose. That alone should tell you how good it is.
