Jackson Leaves - an Edwardian house in Penylan. Built 1906, semi-detached, three
storeys, spacious, beautifully presented. Left in good condition to Rob and
Julia by Rob’s late aunt.
It’s an ordinary sort of a house. Except for the way the rooms don’t stay in the
same places. And the strange man that turns up in the airing cupboard. And the
apparitions. And the temporal surges that attract the attentions of Torchwood.
And the fact that the first owner of Jackson Leaves in 1906 was a Captain Jack
Harkness...

as if they were never there or they’ve been dissolved…
With the Welsh Amateur Operatic Contest getting under way, music is filling the
churches and concert halls of Cardiff. The competition has attracted the finest
Welsh talent to the city, but it has also drawn something else – there are
stories of a metallic creature hiding in the shadows. Torchwood are on its tail,
but it’s moving too fast for them to track it down.
This new threat requires a new tactic – so Ianto Jones is joining a male voice
choir...

With fangs like

With brimstone breath and eyes aglow, he'll eat your soul - to Hell you'll go!
Germany, 1827. The town of Orlok is under a curse, haunted by the memory of a
spate of grisly murders that shattered the community twenty years before. At the
time, townsfolk blamed the legendary Beast of Orlok, a nightmarish creature from
medieval folklore.
And now, it seems, the Beast has returned. As the killings begin again, the
people of Orlok are understandably suspicious of two strangers newly arrived in
their midst. The Doctor and Lucie must face their darkest fears as they find
themselves plunged into a decidedly grim fairytale.
This story takes place after the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie
and after the Big Finish audio adventure, Hothouse.
