My new novel from @TitanBooks, DEATH AT THE DRESS REHEARSAL, should be in lots of ASDAs now, as part of their two books for £9 deal.
Check here for local availability!
Picked up the three most recent books in @obversebooks's fantastic Black Archive series, which takes deep, focused dives into the history and analysis individual #DoctorWho stories.
It's basically like Bloomsbury's equally fantastic 33 1/3 series, but on our favorite old TV show instead of our favorite old albums.
Highly recommended, if you're into that sort of thing. And they're on sale right now as well!
This week on the blog: I review a new stand-alone sci-fi book by @scottmliddell and published by @obversebooks - titled, appropriately enough, SCIENCE FICTION:

Available to pre-order now - the 69th Black Archive, in which Philip Purser-Hallard climbs aboard the Midnight bus...
'You need my voice in particular. The cleverest voice in the room.' Written in haste and mostly confined to a single set, Midnight (2008) is a masterpiece of minimalist Doctor Who. Three times adapted as a stage play, it rejects the conventions of the series to examine the nature of evil and how it can corrupt human society. In the process it deconstructs and interrogates the nature of the Doctor himself, in an absurdist retelling of the myth of Echo and Narcissus.

“She didn't just show me any old future, she showed me exactly the future I needed to see.” A puzzle. A key. A superstructure and, arguably, the most important Doctor Who story ever made. The Day of the Doctor is all these things and much more. For this 50th Black Archive, Alasdair Stuart examines the 3D storytelling at the heart of the show's 50th anniversary tale from 2013.
'How far, Doctor? How long have you lived?'
Long ago, eight past lives were brought briefly into focus, only to disappear once more.
Now, those Doctors return in the final stories from their forgotten lives.
FORGOTTEN LIVES III - pre-order open from now to 1 December.
A third and final set of FORGOTTEN LIVES tales... A person is the sum of their memories. A Time Lord even more so. But some people live so long that there is no longer room for all the memories; they find themselves diminished, whittled away piece by piece… For many years, Doctor Who has implied that William Hartnell played the Doctor’s first incarnation — but in The Brain of Morbius, we were given glimpses of eight stern-faced men in assorted historical costumes — Doctors before the one we know as the first. What were they like, these forgotten Doctors? What worlds did they visit, and what adventures did they have there? Who were their companions, and who were their enemies? And perhaps just as interesting — what sort of stories would this forgotten prehistory of Doctor Who have told? PRE-ORDER ONLY. PUBLICATION EARLY DECEMBER. ALL PROFITS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO ALZHEIMER'S CHARITIES .
