Synopsis

The year is 1860, and a lonely house stands on a craggy rock in Ayrshire, Scotland. Inside, two men brace themselves against rushing winds, wailing voices and loud, crashing noises. Goats with fire-red eyes bleat relentlessly, and a procession of weird figures appear, apparently from all ages of man.

Among them, strangest of all, is a tall man with spiky brown hair, wearing a blue suit and waving a small silver candle...

When the Doctor and Martha call at the house, they learn about the mysterious portal that lies within, a doorway leading - where?

It's not long before they join the two men in trying to hold back the monstrous demons within. David Banks, who played the Cyber Leader in the BBC TV series, reads this suspense-laden tale by Gary Russell.
