Nightshade by Mark Gatiss

"Nightshade" written by Mark Gatiss is the second Doctor Who novel I have read until now.
It features the Seventh Doctor and his companion Ace. Strange things happen in the village Crook Marsham in 1968. People go missing without a sign and an actor in a retirement home starts to see horrible creatures from his old TV show. The Doctor and Ace land amidst all of this but the Doctor is haunted by old memories and thinks about retiring. When dead loved ones start to haunt the people of the village and kill them, the Doctor has to do what he does best: Help other people. Ace falls in love with boy from the village and thinks about staying with him. But will the Doctor let her go?
I think this book is better than the other one (Sands of Time) I read before. It stays mostly in one time and I think it's an interesting idea that people are lured to the alien by images of their loved ones. Before and after you know what is causing all this the book was quite creepy. It's a good read and something to get over the break in series 6.

You can download this book for free if you want. I'll post the link below.
