The Horror was the third and final audio story in the anthology He Who Fights With Monsters, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Robert Valentine and featured Jonathon Carley as the War Doctor, Ken Bones as The General and Nicholas Le Prevost as the Barber-Surgeon.
Synopsis
The Doctor is missing in action. As Gallifrey and Skaro face total destruction, Time Lord and Dalek forces converge on the realm of the Barber-Surgeon. From his junkyard fortress in a lost dimension, the renegade warmonger is about to create his ultimate weapon...Who or what can possibly stop him?
