'i did like the first one when i was thirteen years old, but i thought the series became increasingly illiterate and disgusting and meritless.'

'I don’t think there’ll ever be another series like it purely and simply because the style that so many of the writers who graced the early editions worked in is just not evident anymore. They were originals and they were the best of their kind. They will never be surpassed. Simple as that.'

I'm very proud to announce that Screaming Dreams will be launching my biography of Pan Horror editor, Mr. Herbert van Thal, at this years Fantasycon. 'LEST YOU SHOULD SUFFER NIGHTMARES' was originally published as part of my British Fantasy Award nominated anthology BACK FROM THE DEAD: THE LEGACY OF THE PAN BOOK OF HORROR STORIES and I am thrilled that the autobiography, at least, will be available to those who missed out on buying BFTD the first time round. Limited to 100 hardcover copies only, each one will be signed by both myself and artist Les Edwards who contributed the stunning artwork of van Thal.

Copies are expected to go like hotcakes so if you want to RESERVE a copy before the launch on 30 September 2011 - please click on the Screaming Dreams contact LINK and tell them how many copies you would like. This book will sell out very quickly, so grab a copy while you can!
