It’s 1901. The first doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan arrive in the usually quiet seaside town of Whitby. But it’s not so quiet now. A body has been found. The victim has puncture wounds in her neck and has been drained of blood. The people are sure of it: he is back.
Meanwhile in the local opera house, a play is breaking all the records. It’s a full house every night. And yet the man in charge of the opera house is not celebrating the success, he’s feeling guilty. Because the name of the play is The Legend of Dracula.
The atmosphere is on point, making the whole setting quite spooky. There are also plenty of references to Dracula and Van Helsing. And I like how the play introduces us readers to the original story, especially for those like me who haven’t read the original yet. This makes it easier to understand some of the references without taking us out of the story at hand.
It’s at heart an easy and not too heavy or too scary Halloween read. It’s an atmospheric mystery story with some horror influences. And it’s executed well. Even though I’m not that big a fan of vampire stories in general, this still ended up being a solid and enjoyable read.

Smashing! Really enjoyable. I don’t consume much 1st Doctor era stuff but this was a very good read.

Could have been ripped from the screen. An excellent representation of the First Doctor. Six stars if you are a Doctor Who and Brenda and Effie fan, which you should be.

I haven't previously shown much interest in the Puffin Classic Crossovers range for the Doctor Who book line, but when they announced two novels based on Dracula and Frankenstein, I knew I had to give these recent novels a go. The 1st Doctor versus Dracula? Sign me up!
It's 1901, and it's been ten years since Dracula terrified the small town of Whitby out of their wits. The Tardis crew have arrived, the Doctor thinking he's finally got Ian and Barbara back home, but when they see how old-fashioned everything is, they're close to his friends' time, but still too far. Recently, disturbing events have occurred: people have been murdered, their bodies drained of blood and, worst of all, a stage play on Dracula is being performed at the nearby theatre. Van Helsing has returned to finish the job, but has Dracula really returned, or is it something far more terrifying?
Paul Magrs using this novel as a way to make the events of Dracula actually canon to the Whoniverse is both an insane and a surprisingly welcome edition. This felt like a genuine Past Doctor Adventure and despite a bit of silliness and charm, it makes for a very creepy and atmospheric read filled with blood and violence. The author's portrayal of the characters was brilliant, the threat was terrifying, and I loved the little tidbits about The Dark Times from the 1st Doctor.
Overall: An incredible novel that was exciting, scary and, most of all, fun. Paul Magrs has knocked it out of the park again! 10/10

This is tasty, cozy gothic as opposed to out-and-out chills...and while it's not exactly an electrifying tale, it is one with massive bags of atmosphere while using the Stoker story as an jumping-off point, rather than as a straighforward riff on a familiar tale. I particularly enjoyed Susan having a bit of a fancy for Van Helsing Junior.

As a series. Doctor Who is no stranger to riffs and adaptations. Stories such as The Brain of Morbius which jumped off of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein or Christmas specials that brought in elements of Charles Dickens or C.S. Lewis in Modern Who, to name but a handful of examples. Puffin has spent the last few years having various authors following suit in a more explicit fashion with TARDIS crews from throughout the series history popping up in new versions of literary classics. The latest (and potentially final) entry in the range is such a natural fit that one’s surprised it didn’t happen much sooner: Dracula! (yes, the exclamation point is part of the title!).
Paul Magrs, who has a long list of Who writing credits behind him in various media and penned previous books in this same Puffin range, has an interesting premise to play with. Bram Stoker’s novel, after all, has become a classic with countless adaptations and crossovers. In doing this Doctor Who version, Magrs could have taken a couple of different approaches that those penning encounters between the Count and Sherlock Holmes have done in the past. The first is, like Loren D. Estleman with Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula, is to drop the Doctor and their companions into Stoker’s novel between scenes and acting as unseen influences upon the novel’s events. The other, which David Stuart Davies did with Sherlock Holmes and the Tangled Skein (itself adapted by Big Finish with modern voice of the Daleks Nicholas Brigg as Holmes), is to drop the vampire into another franchise to see how the characters react to his presence. Which approach did Magrs take here?
A path between them. One which sees the appearance of characters and elements from Stoker’s novel as part of the novel (notably Van Helsing and the Gothic parts of the town of Whitby) mixed in with at least some version of the novel’s events having occurred in-universe a decade before. Magrs also keeps in mind the show’s own encounters with and mythology around the creatures of the night, incorporating it as part of the narrative, something which allows him to also do his own spin on Stoker’s novel. It’s an interesting path to take, one that simultaneously pays tribute to the novel and its adaptations but not being slavish to it, allowing this to stand on its own.
There’s also the TARDIS crew appearing in the novel. The original 1963-4 TARDIS team is iconic, but perhaps surprising to appear in what is (notionally at least) a series aimed at young adult readers. How many tweens are watching 1960s Doctor Who is anyone’s guess! Magrs use of them here, for this longtime fan of the series at keast, works splendidly. Everyone has something to contribute to the narrative and often gets paired off with another character for portions of it (The Doctor with Van Helsing, Susan with Van Helsing’s nephew, Bernard, and Barbara with a stranger she encounters later on in the novel). In proper sixties fashion, Ian vanishes for the equivalent of a TV episode, as if to allow the late William Russell a week off! Though, to Magrs credit, he finds a compelling reason in-story for why that would take place. Each of them feels present and correct, including scenes that feel tailor made to Hartnell’s Doctor toward the novel’s end. It’s an impeccable pastiche of the first TARDIS crew and a highlight of Dracula! as a fun read.
Fun, but not perfect. Being aimed at a young adult audience does mean that there’s only so far that the actual horror can be depicted on the page, which can be frustrating when you’re reading a riff on a classic horror novel. Magrs does well for the most part, but the events at the novel’s climax are perhaps undermined by how little the novel can show what’s happening. The reveal of the novel’s villain and the final showdown is rather rushed, realizations and connections only made in the literary equivalent of a split second before its back to action. It’s a shame because the eventual villain and their connection to the infamous Count are intriguing, but not wheere Magrs can develop them to their full effectiveness. Something which might have taken a good read and made something that little bit more.
Even so, Dracula! offers up a Doctor Who crossover of sorts that you didn’t know you needed until you read it. One that neatly builds a version of Stoker’s novel into the show’s universe alongside a first rate pastiche of the original Classic Who TARDIS crew. Not to mention a good read that not only the target audience but longtime grown-up fans of Doctor Who can sink their teeth into.

The ‘Doctor Who/classic novel mash-up’ range has been something on my radar ever since it gained traction over the last few years, and with the last two being horror-focused before it apparently came to an end this year I may as well dive in, going backwards through my read-through of all eight. Which turns out to be a huge blessing since Paul Magrs’ romp of the original ‘63 TARDIS crew fighting against vampires including the old Count himself is the most fun I’ve had with an original Who novel in years (minus The Decades Collection), so awash with Gothic horror vibes and packed to the seams with set-pieces that Philip Hinchcliffe would revel in if he ever did a vampire-driven story ie the army attacking the Halloween party at the hotel. It even manages to integrate the Dracula story into the Who mythos in a clever way instead of the cheaper route of ‘the Doctor and co enter a fictional universe where Dracula is real!’. Hope I haven’t done the peak of this series by accident and the other seven end up being lesser by comparison!

Part of the subseries of Who books which tie-in to famous stories/literature (Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood, Treasure Island, etcetera), this book features the First Doctor (William Hartnell) and his original companions Susan, Barbara and Ian. Arriving in Whitby, Yorkshire in 1901, the TARDIS travellers find the town gearing-up to celebrate Halloween as a series of mysterious murders have begun happening.
Okay, so it's vampires. Let's not kid ourselves or beat around the bush; there's no twist that it's secretly alien fish people or something like that, they're actual vampires.
What you have to remember, however, is that vampires have been a part of Who lore since Tom Baker's era, so whilst some might find the supernatural elements in a science fiction series jarring (for example, I certainly did in Ncuti Gatwa's era), here is actually fits in pretty well. To begin with, how the vampiric shenanigans are revealed seems a bit hammy, but it would've been twice as bad if we'd had hammy vampires and then get told, actually it's killer robots pretending to be hammy vampires!
Where this book excels is in the setting of the scene. I've spend some time in Whitby (even went on an after-dark ghost tour) and Magrs does a wonderful job of conveying how the charming fishing town takes on an intriguing mysteriousness after the sun sets. Combined with things like a graveyard crumbling into the sea and the bones of Whitby Abbey dominating the skyline and it's easy to see why the place inspired Bram Stoker. All of this is something that Magrs takes full advantage of.
This is no great work of literature, to be sure, but it is a fun and atmospheric adventure for the Doctor in his early(ish) days of adventuring. There are some surprises to be had regarding the personalities introduced (are they/aren't they) and I rather enjoyed the unlikely, but really quite fitting, team-up of the First Doctor and Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

I’ve been reading Magrs books for many years now and he always delivers in a fascinating and fun way , often mixing elements of fables and stories into science fiction fantasy.
So it’s no wonder that this latest book in the Doctor Who universe mixes up Dracula lore with one of his favourite places in the world Whitby ( His favourite series of books are set in Whitby starting with Never the Bride and I recommend getting into them if you haven’t given them a go. They are cozy and a delight to read.)
I’ve been to Whitby myself a few times when I lived in England and I love the place and I can imagine why people fall in love with this place of history and fictional lore.
I haven’t read a First Doctor novel for a long time now so I was kind of in trepidation in reading a book set in this era of Doctor Who. We all know that Magrs has a fantastic angle on the third and fourth doctor and pretty much any Doctor he sets his mind to write about but I hadn’t read one of his with the First Doctor in it.. let me just say that he does an amazing job in the characters of both the Doctor , Barbara , Ian and Susan.
This book is entertaining and fun and moves along at a cracking pace and I loved all the characters involved in this plot of the Vampires to take over Whitby then the whole of England and perhaps the entire universe if they’re allowed to escape. I feel that I’m in the same universe as Never the Bride in many ways. A lot of these characters could and maybe do exist in that universe as well.
I really recommend this book and I couldn’t put it down and it was such a quick read as well. Thanks Paul

A fantastic insertion of The Doctor into the Dracula mythos. Never gets out of Whitby, but having spent time there earlier this year, that particularly appealed to me. The best of these DOCTOR WHO/literary mash-ups I’ve read so far.

Dracula is my favourite literary work and Doctor Who is my favourite franchise, so I'm absolutely in love with this crossover. In many ways, in fact, this story acts as a sequel to Stoker's original novel.
Paul Magrs is a veteran Doctor Who author, so he's certainly more than capable of writing compelling Who fiction no problem, and to add to the high quality narrative of this book, he characterises the first TARDIS team perfectly and gives each character an equal amount of attention.
The way Margs channels the same themes of suspense and sensuality as Stoker himself did is a real credit to his talent as an author.
While it does suck that this Puffin crossovers range has to end, this is a more than suitable read to end the range on. The only drawback is not much happens around the middle 50-ish pages of the book, but otherwise it's very entertaining.

The TARDIS lands in Whitby, early 20th century. The Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan go to see the Dracula play and meet Van Helsing and his nephew Bernard.
It becomes obvious fairly early on that Bram Stoker's famous novel isn't fiction, it's a history book. Dracula did visit Whitby, Van Helsing did chase him.
Now, in the shadow of the play and All Hallow's, it looks like vampirism is back.
And Barbara meets Alucard, a friend or foe?
This is part of the children's series of Doctor Who novels, so I wasn't sure how author Paul Magrs would end this story, but he did it perfectly.
There's enough for adult Doctor Who fans to enjoy as well. 9/10
Scoring: 0 bad; 1-3 poor; 4-6 average; 7-9 good; 10 excellent.

I might be in the minority but I enjoy the First Doctor stories with Barbara and Ian. And Paul Magrs seemed to get their characters just right.
I also really liked what he did with the Dracula story. Having a contrite Dracula turned this from just another horror story to a redemptive story. Contrast Dracula’s remorse with Van Helsing’s unrelenting drive to kill all vampires made me question motives and hearts and vengeance. It made me question who’s right and who’s wrong. There was even one moment I felt sorry for Muriel, when it was revealed she was a victim of Dracula in the 1890’s.

Whitby, 1901, and the TARDIS lands just before Halloween. Deciding to take a small break from his adventures, the Doctor soon finds himself wrapped up in an adventure with Abraham van Helsing, who fears that vampires have returned to the town where Dracula first appeared.
A fun, atmospheric story, which Magrs has littered with in jokes and references to the wider universe of both 'Dracula' and 'Doctor Who'. As ever, though, I question the suitability of vampires in a children's adventure.

Absolutely loved this gothic romp. A great atmospheric mash-up with the First Doctor and Dracula. Some nice touches for Susan too.

I don’t know how this book about the first Tardis team facing vampires was boring but it was.
It could be the fact that I’ve only had limited experience with these characters and this version of the Doctor. But from what I know of the characters they were written well it was the plot I had issues with.
It never really felt like they were properly in danger and I feel like this book summed up how I feel about some of the stories in this series by having the Doctor be confused about if parts of what they are dealing with a fictional or not. “First, it’s made-up, and then it’s real!”
Not the best example of what this collection can be like but I can’t say if it’s the worst out of all the others… just the worst one I’ve read so far.

En vrai c'est vla cool pour livre Doctor Who pour les gosses. Je veux pas avoir trop d'exigences sur le livre, j'en vois quand même quelques défauts.
Je trouve aussi que la question de la moralité du docteur, et est-ce que le docteur est une bonne personne revient beaucoup ces temps-ci, et même si je pense la question sous exploitée dans ce livre, elle est importante et mérite d'être posée. J'espere que Magrs ou un.e auteur.ice aura l'occasion de pousser plus loin l'emprise que le docteur peut avoir eu sur sa petite fille.

I am really enjoying this series. In this one, the original TARDIS team ends up in the coastal town of Whitby. The town is going through a crisis, as there is a serial killer on the loose. I loved the spooky atmosphere and the inclusion of galactic vampires. The plot was well done, and the side characters were interesting and included some famous ones from Stoker's Dracula. I had a lot of fun with this story and can't wait to read more in this series.

Molt ben trobat. Sorprenentment dinàmic en tema acompanyants. Coneix bé l'obra original i el mite vampíric i fa servir-ho bé en una estructura whovian. Hi ha un parell de personatges que venen de Stoker que em grinyolen una mica, per com els vaig interpretar jo a l'obra original, però estrictament dins aquest llibre compleixen bé les seves funcions

A really enjoyable read. Very well written. Paul Magrs captured William Hartnell’s Doctor and all of his companions perfectly.
The other characters in the small town of Whitby were enjoyable in their own way.
I really loved the setting for the story.
