Story
Something ghastly is afoot in Victorian Yorkshire. Something that kills. Bodies are washing up in the canal, their skin a waxy, glowing red...but just what is this crimson horror? Madam Vastra, Jenny and Strax are despatched to investigate the mystery. Strangely reluctant to assist their enquiries is Mrs Winifred Gillyflower, matriarch of ‘Sweetville’, a seemingly Utopian workers’ community. Why do all roads lead to the team's old friends Clara and the Doctor? Who is Mrs Gillyflower's mysterious silent partner Mr Sweet?

Tai Kulga has survived this long by fighting against his power and the madness that comes with it. The last time he gave in, it killed his best friend - so every day he doesn’t is a victory, now.

The TARDIS lands in a primeval forest, and the Doctor meets Leela, a warrior banished from her tribe. He learns that an ongoing war between the Sevateem and the Tesh was instigated by Xoanon, the god they both worship. In reality, an all-powerful computer, Xoanon, is possessed by a desperate madness directly related to the Doctor - one which only the Time Lord can rectify! In order to do battle with Xoanon, the Doctor must escape, not only from the savage practices of the Sevateem but also from the mind-controlling impulses of the Tesh.
Summary
Sophie Aldred reads this brand new novelisation of a thrilling screen adventure for the 13th Doctor.
I am an expert on witchcraft, Doctor, but I wish to learn more. Before you die, I want answers.
The TARDIS lands in the Lancashire village of Bilehurst Cragg in the 17th century and the Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz soon become embroiled in a witch trial run by the local landowner. Fear stalks the land, and the arrival of King James I only serves to intensify the witch hunt.
But the Doctor soon realises there is something more sinister than paranoia and superstition at work. Tendrils of living mud stir in the ground, and the dead lurch back to horrifying life as an evil alien presence begins to revive.
The Doctor and her friends must save not only the people of Bilehurst Cragg from the wakening forces, but the entire world.
Sophie Aldred, who played Ace in the BBC TV series, reads Joy Wilkinson's novelisation of her own 2018 TV script.

Good story
I listened to the Audible release read by Sophie Aldred.
The books recounts and expands upon the TV story with a lot more of the background. It's well written and read wonderfully by Aldred.
I felt the epilogue after the evil is defeated and TARDIS gone was slightly unnecessary, but overall a good adaptation.

Worth It
A beautiful expansion upon the television episode. We get to be inside the Doctor’s head during her revelations about seeing the universe through the eyes of a woman. We get to hear more about Yaz and Izzy. We get a moment with Graham. Ryan and the king are a treat. We also learn Becca’s origin story. We learn about the Morax, who imprisoned them, why and how. We also learn about what happens to Willa. Sophie Alfred narrating was just the icing on the cake!
