This year’s Doctor Who Annual will include a brand new short story featuring the Doctor and Ruby

 

The Doctor Who Annual 2026 is out on the 21st of August and there are more details of what fans can expect from this year’s stocking filler. The hardback book will contain a special short story written by Lucky Day scriptwriter Pete McTighe. Night of the Shreek offers a Target Books style expansion of the action, leading directly into one of the early scenes of the episode.

 

Night of the Shreek

It was cold. And it was hungry.

The shock of interdimensional travel had stunned it for a moment, so it lay there on a cold, unfamiliar floor, breathing hard. Vulnerable for just a few seconds. Then it flipped quickly on to all fours, scanning its surroundings with a defensive glare. But it was alone.

Its instincts said that this place was a fertile hunting ground. But this was its first time out of its hive, away from its kin. Detached from everything it had ever known, in a strange new world. Breathing the bitterly cold, toxic air, surrounded by towering concrete buildings, it felt lost. And lonely. And scared.

And it really, really needed to eat…

 

You can read the rest of the action in the annual. As well as Night of the Shreek, readers will have the usual mix of fact pages, quizzes and games. Although a more detailed breakdown isn’t available, previous annuals suggest there will very likely be an episode-by-episode guide to the most recent season, a character guide covering both heroes and villains, and more.

You can pre-order the annual now from your preferred bookseller, through the links on the Penguin Books website.
