People have been telling me for years how much they remember -- and enjoyed -- my stories for Pan and Fontana Horror and Fontana Ghosts from the early 80s. So now I've put them all together in one collection on Kindle. Each tale has a short introduction about where it came from and what it was like working with the likes of Mary Danby, Herbert van Thal and Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes, and there are a couple of related stories from that period thrown in for good measure. You can find out more about CLASSIC PAN AND FONTANA HORROR here: amzn.to/1Bo6EBj

I try my best, James. Hope that you enjoy these stories, and the accompanying little insights into the horror scene way back then.

Welcome, Mr. Richards.
Particularly liked this from the introduction:
"Pan & Fontana Horror/ Ghost weren't merely cult events or even phenomena, they were a big part of the history of horror literature ..."
Couldn't agree more with that, and while the Pan's and early Fontana Ghosts ... have been justly revered in recent years, I always felt the Fontana Horror's never received their due, while the Chetwynd-Hayes edited Ghosts rarely get a look in.
Very pleased to see these stories available again, and your commentary to date (as yet, have only read the kindle sample) is a treat.

It's not exactly my first collection by a long chalk ... I have 4 just with Dark Regions Press. But thanks.

Thanks as well, Demonik. Hope you enjoy the whole thing ... there's a commentary for each story. Chetwynd-Hayes was a fine editor, and a good writer too, very popular in his heyday, and deserves a bit more recognition.

No offence intended of taken. Sorry to be so slow with my replies, but I'm working on the final draft of a new novel at the moment.

took me exactly 20 seconds of seeing this to have it downloaded. i think i speak for many who read these stories in the original books but no longer have copies. i don't really have the time to ransack the second-hand book shops to track them down again so the more that are given a second chance on e-reader the better imo. thanks Tony!

Thanks, Paul. And congrats on the success of your detective thrillers, by the way. Much deserved.
