One day, when we look back on the unholy year that has been 2000 and 10 times two, the cataloguing of unbearable tragedies, atrocities, and absolute insanities that we’ve all somehow endured this year will read more like CliffsNotes exposition from a clichéd dystopian young adult novel rather than actual historical text.

Encompassing terrors from Plasmavores to Autons, and with appearances from River Song and Davros, it’s full of delicious fear and complex emotion conveyed in Rudden’s trademark bell-clear prose. Alexis Snell’s linocuts amplify both tenderness and threat.
