Resurrection Engines (anthology)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Resurrection Engines was a 2012 anthology published by Snowbooks Ltd. Although many of its contributors were established writers of Doctor Who media, Paul Magrs' contribution was the only one to make use of a Doctor Who license, being a fully fledged Iris Wildthyme short story.
