Picked up as part of a compilation of Dr Who (10th Doctor) audiobooks when I had a spare credit to spend on audible (and as part of their 2-for-1 sale), this was the fourth story in that compilation.
And the first NOT to be read by either David Tennant or Catherine Tate themselves - instead, this is read by Michelle Ryan.
This is also very much a horror-themed story, with the Doctor (between companions, after Donna but before Martha) waking up in the 18th century Yorkshire Moors, where night has fallen (and stayed for weeks on end) and where the local villagers are all mysteriously disappearing one by one ...
Basically, Doctor Who does vampires.

A nice, basic Who story set in the time after the Doctor and Donna seperated. Some interesting characters and good descriptions of events. There even got to be a very interesting companion. The problems I had were that it was rather predictable and those good descriptions got a bit repetitive.
I would like to see this story expanded into an episode, or more about the Doctor with his companion, but it is entirely too late for that now.

I stopped caring about halfway through, but since it was short I finished it anyways. It's very forgettable. It also doesn't feel like a Doctor Who story.

I enjoyed Michelle Ryan's performance a whole lot more than I thought I would. The story itself was fine, but it's a Doctor-only story, and I think I prefer Doctor-and-companion stories overall.

A bit too dark and not funny enough for my taste. I like DW best when it's more fun than danger.

Solid Doctor Who audio adventure. Feels just like an episode of Doctor Who.

Oh my! This was amazing! One of the more angsty Doctor Who stories I've come across - but oh it was beautiful and rather profound! Like I said, how I wish it was an episode! I was visualising everything happening as I was listening to it - and I thought the story fitted perfectly along with The Tenth Doctor - I definitely recommend this to fellow Whovians :D
