The Chronicles of Doctor Who


It's great to hear that Michael Moorcock, author of fantasy books about Elric of Melnibone, Corum, Count Brass, Hawkmoon, and many others has been approached to add a Doctor Who novel to his canon. Here's hoping that at some point in the future, we will see him write an episode for this series.

At times his writing can be quite dark. I always think of two Elric novels: the first, in which Elric watches his torturer, Doctor Jest, at work with a scalpel on one helpless prisoner and another, in which Elric advises one antagonist
"you will look back on agonies presently unimaginable to you with a sense of nostalgia... as a time before the pain really began..."
