'''"White Darkness"''' is the fifteenth | '''"White Darkness"''' is the fifteenth installment in the series of [[List of Virgin New Adventures Stories|Virgin New Adventures|New Adventure]] stories published by [[Virgin Publishing]] in the [[1990s]]. The story is set in [[Haiti]], [[1915]] and features the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Ace]], and [[Bernice Summerfield]]. The book was written by [[David A. McIntee]], who derived much of the story's material from [[Wikipedia:Wade Davis|Wade Davis]]' ''The Serpent and the Rainbow'', a research into the practice of [[voodoo]] and zombification in Haiti, and also the [[Cthulhu]] mythos created by [[Wikipedia:HP Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]]. Lovecraft lent his name to one of the principle characters in the story, Dr. [[Howard Phillips]], who at one point presents the Doctor with a copy of the ''[[Necronomicon]]'', which was given to him by [[Aleister Crowley]] and written in the original [[Eocene]] language. | ||
