"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..."--Back cover.

"The year is 1645, and Edinburgh is in the grip of the worst plague in its history.

But death is not the end. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole discover that the living are being haunted by the recently departed--by ghosts that do not know they are dead. And there are other creatures lurking in the shadows, slithering, creeping creatures filled with an insatiable hunger. The Doctor and his friends must face the terrifying secret of the Street of Sorrows--that something which has lain dormant for two hundred million years is due to destroy the entire city... "--Back cover.

In the far future, humans discover the location of the last Phaeron road - and the Doctor and Clara join the mission to see where the road leads"--Amazon.com.
