Doctor Who: The Nameless City by Michael Scott

Doctor Who meets Lovecraftian horror – though not quite as unspeakable horrifying as that sounds. Michael Scott perfectly understands the Second Doctor and Jamie – both as individual characters and as a truly dynamic duo. Here, he crafts this deliciously dark tale featuring the Necronomicon, a nameless city, and unknowable masses of swirling darkness that prove difficult to even look at. It’s quick-paced, perhaps a bit too quickly-paced at times. But it’s a thrilling read, and a lovely “what if” scenario imagining the Second Doctor in a very modern kind of Doctor Who episode.

Also, Frazer Hines (Jamie himself) reads the audio version of this story, and he does an absolutely remarkable job.
