A strange disease has struck the area, and local people are convinced that witchcraft is responsible. The Doctor and Ace discover a terrifying evil at work beneath the quiet countryside one that has waited centuries to rise again. As the danger spreads, the Doctor must confront ancient powers hidden beneath the village before darkness consumes them all. An original novel set within the darker atmospheric style associated with the later Doctor Who expanded universe, Instruments of Darkness sends the 7th Doctor and Ace into a rural horror mystery combining occult themes, buried historical evil, and the manipulative strategic characterization that defines Sylvester McCoy's Doctor across the prose era. Gary Russell, a longtime Doctor Who writer and producer, brings a continuity-rich approach to one of the more atmospheric entries in the Past Doctor Adventures range. Published in 2001 as part of BBC Books' Past Doctor Adventures line, this first edition continued the expanded-universe storytelling tradition that kept Doctor Who alive in prose form between television productions. Seventh Doctor and Ace novels remain especially collectible among wilderness-era Doctor Who readers for their darker tone and the rich characterization developed during the franchise's most creatively ambitious prose period.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
