Doctor Who : Thirteen Doctors 13 Stories by Naomi Alderman
5.0
Oh this is marvelous. Not a single bad story, although some are definitely better than others. My favorites were:
"A Big Hand for the Doctor", because Peter Pan. And pirates. And the 1st Doctor being specially heroic.
"The Roots of Evil", which captures the essence of a 4th Doctor story while also being something that feels like it was written in this century.
"Tip of The Tongue", which is a great story, full stop. I will look into this author's books because I was actually impressed.
"Something Borrowed", because I love Sixie, but also because it's an Actually Good Story with the Rani in it, and that on itself is a wonder.
"Nothing O'Clock", because Neil Gaiman. I had actually already read this one in one of his collections, but I wasn't a Whovian back then and was mostly impressed with the villain. Now that I'm capable of fully appreciating how much trivia Gaiman manages to sneak into a story without making it bloated I understand that this story is really great.
