Mary's Story (audio story) was a 2009 Big Finish Productions full-cast audio short story, featuring the eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley. It was the fruition of a nearly decade-long gag that had been running through the eighth Doctor's audio adventures. Since his first adventure, Storm Warning, he had been dropping hints of a friendship with Shelley, but that relationship had never been depicted until this story.
This story is notable for the fact that the eighth Doctor acknowledges comics, prose, and audio continuities. It is the first, and as of 2011 only, story to explicitly and unambiguously combine the continuities of these three media.
Publisher's summary
Switzerland, 1816: at the Villa Diodati, Lord Byron's house guests tell each other tales to curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart. With a monster on the loose outside, young Mary Shelley isn't short of inspiration.
