Vampire Science is the second novel in the BBC Books series, the Eighth Doctor Adventures, based upon the BBC's long-running science fiction television series, Doctor Who.

An ancient Time Lord enemy, 'vampires', have been spotted on earth.

The book was originally intended to feature the character of Grace Holloway from the 1996 Doctor Who television movie, but late in the day the authors were told that rights to the character were not available.

The character of General Kramer previously appeared in a fan film that starred Jon Blum as The Doctor.

Page 49 of the original print edition mistakenly calls the character Sam, Carolyn.
