A brand new novelisation of an exciting screen adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor, Graham, Ryan and Yasmin, as played on screen by Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.
‘I am an expert on witchcraft, Doctor, but I wish to learn more. Before you die, I want answers.’
The TARDIS lands in the Lancashire village of Bilehurst Cragg in the 17th century, and the Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz soon become embroiled in a witch trial run by the local landowner. Fear stalks the land, and the arrival of King James I only serves to intensify the witch hunt.
But the Doctor soon realises there is something more sinister than paranoia and superstition at work. Tendrils of living mud stir in the ground and the dead lurch back to horrifying life as an evil alien presence begins to revive.
The Doctor and her friends must save not only the people of Bilehurst Cragg from the wakening forces, but the entire world...

Faye Marsay and Paul Higgins star in Joy Wilkinson's maze of tales about risk, passion and deep-sea oil. One of a season of dramas exploring the history of oil - and the price we've paid for it.
