The latest in a long line of suicide attempts sees Caroline 'Laska' Darnell admitted to the Retreat, a groundbreaking medical center surrounded by woodland. To her horror, she recognizes the Retreat from her recent nightmares of an old building haunted by ghostly dogs with glowing eyes. But who will believe her stories of an evil from the past that has already made one attempt to destroy the building and all its inhabitants? The mysterious Dr. Smith seems curiously aware of the Retreat's past, and is utterly fascinated by Laska's waking dreams and prophetic nightmares. But if Laska is unable to trust her own perceptions, can she trust Dr. Smith?

Cracking good story,

This review is from: Doctor Who: The Sleep Of Reason (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
I've only been reading Doctor Who novels for a short time, but this one stands out as a great one, even for television-based genre novels. The story is deeply creepy, and keeping the POV characters completely in the dark about the Doctor and his companions was a stroke of genius - the reader might know these people aren't nefarious, but it's sure easy to understand why the other characters might have some concerns for "Dr. Smith" and his colleagues!
When supernatural trouble breaks out at what appears to be a haunted hospital (mental asylum), it's up to this strange Dr. Smith and his companions to untangle the clues to a history of danger, death, and fear to get to the bottom of the trouble. Nicely eerie, and handled exceptionally well. It makes me wish Doctor Eight and his companions had gotten a little (more) screen time.
