Bleak House

Bleak House was a novel by Charles Dickens. It was one of Edmund Trevithick's favourites; he loved the way Dickens "drew him into that murky, fog-bound world." (PROSE: Nightshade) In the course of the plot, one of the characters — aptly named "Krook" — spontaneously combusted in his room, "supposedly as a celestial judgement on his sins." (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)

On Christmas Eve 1869, the Ninth Doctor compared the morgue of Gabriel Sneed's mortuary to the setting of the novel. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)
