Fear of the Dark is a BBC Books original novel written by Trevor Baxendale and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa.

As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation.

Synopsis

It is 2382. Archaeologists land on Akoshemon's only moon, along with the Doctor and his companions. They uncover an entity that was seemingly there when Akoshemon destroyed itself in violence; it glories in death and destruction and tries to start more. It seems to have the ability to mentally influence people.
