Cover blurb:
‘Eldrad must live. Eldrad the creator, the saviour.’

With its nuclear anxieties, god complexes, temporal abysses and evil transmitted through a slogan, The Hand of Fear (1976) explores multiple sources of terror and unease. In an era when Doctor Who drew inspiration from cinematic horror icons, it takes a long tradition of disembodied creeping hands as the starting point in building its ancient, messianic villain, a character of mutable gender long before they became familiar in Doctor Who.

Among many other things, Simon Bucher-Jones has written the Black Archives on Image of the Fendahl and The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit.

“A grandly ambitious thing to attempt with something as exhaustively detailed as (Doctor Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf."
