It's like any short story collection, a mixed bag of good and meh. There are a lot of slightly different takes (an interesting mash of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Conan Doyle in The Snowthorn Terror). For me none of the stories really stood out exceptionally as very good but neither did they stand o...

As always with a set of stories this is a mixed bag, but there's a love of the stories of Sherlock Holmes that comes across from all of the stories. Little details like the Persian Slipper become stories. There's mashups from other stories (H G Wells War of the Worlds for example) and they often t...

Though he only got one long episode and a guest spot in a regular one, the War Doctor seems to have captivated every one. So when I saw this in my library's catalog, I checked it out immediately. On the planet of Moldox, Cinder and Finch, two of the few humans left not killed or captured by the Da...

Okay first off I am going to say we all know I love fantasy. I adore it and I adore short stories. It is what got me started as a writer. But! And there is a but.

With the Tantalus Eye swirling above, the Dalek occupation detours from the normal "EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" and instead the people find themselves taken captive by the Daleks and the...

Tales of Trenzalore is a collection of four stories that attempt to give a little more insight into the life of the Doctor during the centuries-long siege of Trenzalore. These are very lightweight adventures, just a few notches above the little vignettes that appeared in The Name of the Doctor (the ...

From the episode "The Time of the Doctor", we know that The Doctor stays in the town of Christmas to protect the people living there from attacks from above. D...
