Book description
It is almost Halloween in the sleepy New England town of Blackwood
Falls. Autumn leaves litter lawns and sidewalks, paper skeletons hang
in windows, and carved pumpkins leer from stoops and front porches.
The Doctor and Martha soon discover that something long-dormant has
awoken in the town, and this will be no ordinary Halloween. What is
the secret of the ancient chestnut tree and the mysterious book
discovered tangled in its roots? What rises from the local churchyard
in the dead of night, sealing up the lips of the only witness? And why
are the harmless trappings of Halloween suddenly taking on a creepy
new life of their own?
As nightmarish creatures prowl the streets, the Doctor and Martha
must battle to prevent both the townspeople and themselves from
suffering a grisly fate...
Featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant
and Freema Agyeman in the hit sci-fi series from BBC Television.
