Hi all,
I would welcome and love ALL recommendations for spooky or scary DW books.
I’m quite new to DW, so chances are I have not read the book that you are thinking of! 
I will plan to create a nice listing from the recommendations that you give me!
Thank you everyone in advance for your expertise and time!

The Blood Cell is a brilliant, disturbing, and experimental 12th Doctor novel that I can’t recommend enough.
Fear of the Dark, a Fifth Doctor novel I’m currently reading, is also really creepy.
Awesome! Thank you!
I have started my list with these two at the top.
Really appreciate your recommendations.
Depending on what you think of audiobooks/dramas, and comics, I have more recommendations too.
Thank you!
There are so many books to read, not sure I have enough time!
Better focus on them. But thank you again! 
I haven’t read as many DW books as I would like, but Vampire Science, Goth Opera, and Blood Harvest all have vampires in which inherently puts them in the spooky category, and they are all really good.
Scratchman, a 4th Doctor novel is great and scary at times.
Thank you ImpossibleGirl and sircarolyn.
Added to the list! Those seem like excellent candidates.
Grave Matter (6+peri) and Deep Blue (5+tegan+turlough) from the past doctor adventures.
I was just about to say Grave Matter. I enjoyed that one.
There is also the anthology series “Tales of Terror” although at the present I cannot vouch for any of its stories as I haven’t read it.
The short story collection 12 Angels Weeping is quite good, there’s a couple of stories which are rather creepy. Student Bodies and Grey Matter specifically
Thx! The list is getting good!
ooh! i would absolutely recommend the eighth doctor adventures as a whole. there are a few particularly spooky, unsettling or darker books like vampire science, alien bodies, the city of the dead, the adventuress of henrietta street, camera obscura, and anachrophobia but a lot of them have a more mature feel which you might like! not all of them are standalone however.
speaking of mature books (if that’s what you’re after) the virgin new adventures series with the seventh doctor was designed for older readers in mind.
Love it! Keep them coming and Truly thank you all!
I’m trying to devote my “pleasure reading” this year solely to DW.
I might add Nightmare on Black Island and The Banquo Legacy. Not necessarily scary but certainly spooky.
Scary - in terms of quite visceral gore - would lead me to suggest Combat Rock which isn’t a very popular book but is quite scary in places.
Thx so much! On the list!
I’m seconding the Eighth Doctor Adventures (I was honestly considering suggesting them to you anyway on your introduction thread), but fair warning: there’s 73 of them (77 if you want to be a true completionist), they’re very much a series with story arcs and lore and context that builds up over time, and they’re mostly out of print and quite difficult to get ahold of. I love them and highly reccomend them, but depending on how much you care about jumping in without context, you may want a guide or a primer or something.
The only other book I can think of that I’ve read that’s spooky, but not already been mentioned, is The Shining Man
Oh you have to read Anachrophobia, the descriptions of clock people are so creepy and its very much a base under siege story but with weird conceptual stuff. Honestly if you like the eighth doctor and you liked the war commentary in Boom, this is VERY similar but with more running around and body horror.
Wow, that does sound pretty cool! Thx!
Hi NyssaUnbound,
That sounds quite interesting!
Would you suggest a specific reading order for the Eighth Doctor Adventures?
I love long series, so the Eighth might be perfect for me.
