Speaking of houses, my own Doctor Who & Home Truths has had spankingly good reviews in the geek press:
“A science-fiction ghost story, similar to Nigel Kneale's rationalistic hauntings [...] An effective and disturbingly spooky tale, Home Truths lingers in the mind long after the open-ended conclusion, and is one of the very strongest of this latest series of Companion Chronicles.”And:Matt Michael, "The DWM Review", Dr Who's Magazine #403, 7 January 2009, p.56.
“a surprisingly atmospheric and menacing tale. Author Simon Guerrier has sensibly realised that these audiobook-style discs are often best when spooky, and packs plenty of unsettling moments into this MR James-style story of an apparently haunted futuristic house. One of the best releases yet...”(That said, my story in Christmas Round the World doesn't get a mention in Andrew Osmond's review on p. 115 of the same issue. Guess that means he thinks I'm one of the “sprouts or socks”.)Saxon Bullock, “Rated Misc”, SFX #178, January 2009, p. 130.
The Big Finish website now boasts a trailer for Doctor Who and the Judgement of Isskar – which is out next month.
Two good reviews! Bravo.
