About this listen

 23 November, 1963. It is the day after John F. Kennedy's assassination - and the faces of the dead are everywhere. PC Reg Cranfield sees his late father in the mists along Totter's Lane. Reporter Mae Callon sees her grandmother in a coffee stain on her desk. FBI Special Agent Warren Skeet finds his long-dead partner staring back at him from raindrops on a window pane. Then the faces begin to talk, and scream... and push through into our world. As the alien Shroud begins to feast on the grief of a world in mourning, can the Doctor dig deep enough into his own sorrow to save mankind? Shroud of Sorrow is read by Frances Barber, who played Madame Kovarian in the Doctor Who episodes A Good Man Goes to War and The Wedding of River Song. Science Fiction Fiction

Critic Reviews

Shroud of Sorrow is one of the best Doctor Who novels in memory... a great and worthy story for the 50th Anniversary year. (Emrys Matthews)
Barber throws herself wholeheartedly into the project, vocalising sound effects such as “Flash!”, “Bang!” and “Putter, putter, chuff!” as well as providing decent imitations of Susan, the Second Doctor and Jo during flashbacks. (Richard McGinlay)

Bears little relation to the blurb. I confess to liking science in my science fiction, howeverI expect onternal consistency and plausibility within a defined framework. This story has too many ot holes to mention. The idea of an alien that feeds on negative emotion is trite, an army of clowns to battle it is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. Pathetic in the extreme. Dr. Steve Benson.
