Doctor Who The Shining Man Hardcover
Available to order in the UK from www.amazon.co.uk
Available to order in the USA from www.amazon.com #ad
“Being scared is the least of your worries.”
The Shining Men are everywhere. You spot them out of the corner of your eye. Abnormally tall, with long lank hair, blank faces and blazing eyes. If they catch you, they’ll drag you away to who knows where. No one is safe. They’re on every street corner. Waiting. Watching. Shining bright.
Of course it’s a hoax. It has to be, right? It started as a joke, a prank for Halloween. Then it went viral. Idiots dressing up as monsters. Giving folk a scare. Silly masks and fright wigs. No one gets hurt. Because bogeymen aren’t real.
Until people start going missing and lights burn in the darkness. Burning like eyes.
But help is on its way, in the form of a strange man called the Doctor and his friend, Bill. The Doctor will keep us safe. The Doctor will stop the monsters. Unless the monsters stop the Doctor first…
An original novel featuring the Twelfth Doctor and Bill as played by Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie

March 8th, 2017 - 5:16pmThere’s an alternate cover for this on Amazon. it’s more or less the same except Bill is wearing her Friend from the future outfit and Twelve is in a different pose. It also says “Not all monsters are what they seem” at the top rather than “fear the light” above the title.
I wonder which one is the actual cover.

March 8th, 2017 - 5:18pmJust seem the other ones and they’re definitely early ones as you can see that the promos are very crudely photoshopped, with Bill having legs drawn on and 12 having his arm filled in.

March 8th, 2017 - 5:20pmthey must have changed it the one above came from Amazon

March 8th, 2017 - 5:22pmIt’s quite odd really because the ones on Amazon now are very crude. It looks like Part of 12’s arm has been coloured in on the plague city cover and Bill’s legs have also been crudely drawn on in that cover as the promo that’s used doesn’t include her legs.

March 8th, 2017 - 5:25pmnot sure why they would have sent out the covers for the listings as they clearly weren’t final

March 6th, 2017 - 12:57pmSuch a great idea for a Doctor Who story and a nice cover too. The Doctor Who books featuring the current Doctor and companion can be very hit and miss but I think this one will be an engaging read.

March 3rd, 2017 - 10:04pmthis seems to be a riff on the whole Crazy Clown craze that happened last October

January 11th, 2017 - 4:08pmI have been hoping it since the title was announced I just needed someone to agree my suspicions

March 3rd, 2017 - 9:28pmIf you want to sell the book and generate hype you’d put cybermen on the cover so I’ve got my doubts. It would be nice though it’s been ages since they’ve had a returning monster in a novel, I love any of the novels with Cybermen or Daleks in.
