Here it is - the news that you've all been dreading: The Third Dead Funny Book of Horror Stories is coming...
Award-winning editors Johnny Mains and Robin Ince are back with the third volume in their bestselling series of horror anthologies with stories written by comedians. For the bravest among you, there'll be sixteen new short stories from the most monstrous funny people in the country.
They may make you laugh, they'll definitely make you scream.
We're delighted to have Rufus Hound, Reece Shearsmith, Elf Lyons, Stewart Lee, Jeremy Dyson, Daliso Chaponda, Isy Suttie and of course, Robin Ince himself confirmed as contributors and will be announcing the rest of the line up in due course. Though we can promise you this - they'll each produce a nail-biting, toe-curling, hair-raising horror story to this absolutely terrifying collection.
On board too, is illustrator Richard Wells, who will be creating the book's final cover design. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Johnny Mains is the go to man for horror in the UK. His extensive knowledge of and unbound passion for the genre is amazing. If there was a government ministry of horror (which there should be) Johnny would be in charge. He is the Minister For Horror.

DEAD FUNNY revels in the unsettling overlap between laughter and dread.
Financial Times
DEAD FUNNY is the real thing, with veritable authors pulling many of the stops (and viscera) out to show their worth writing horror.

Johnny Mains
Johnny Mains is a British Fantasy Award winning editor and author.
He has been described by the Independent as ‘the Herbert van Thal of our age’, mainly due to his work in bringing back the infamous series Pan Book of Horror Stories (1939-1989). He was instrumental in getting the very first book in the series, the 1959 volume, reprinted for its 50th anniversary in 2009. In 2011 he won the British Fantasy Award for best Anthology with Back From The Dead: The Legacy of the Pan Book of Horror Stories. In the years since he has written the introduction for the 30th anniversary edition of Stephen King’s Thinner, created the Dead Funny: Horror Stories By Comedians, edited several volumes of the acclaimed Best British Horror, and has discovered ‘lost’ works by Algernon Blackwood, E. Nesbit, Arthur Machen and Daphne Du Maurier. Mains has also edited three books of Victorian supernatural fiction written by women and brought to public attention the work of Catherine Lord an author who died in 1901 and had been writing under the name of Lucy Hardy.
Johnny has written three collections of fiction and one novel. His non-fiction work includes the first in-depth biography of author Tod Robbins, a biography of Pan Horror editor Herbert van Thal, multiple essays for Blu-ray releases and a book on John Burke’s screenplay of Michael Reeve’s film The Sorcerer’s. Works in progress are his biography on the film Freaks (1932) a novel titled Man at War and publishing a collection by an unknown Victorian supernatural author, J. Morton Lewis, called The Unseen Hand.
Johnny Mains and Robin Ince has written 1 private update. You can pledge to get access to them all.
20th December 2021 Xmas UpdateRobin and I would both like to wish you a very Spooky Christmas. Thank you to those who have pledged so far - your support is invaluable and with a good wind behind us, we should be able to edit and produce the 3rd Dead Funny book for you all. For those still to pledge - if you were a fan of the first two, this one is more of the same, but better, bigger, brasher and brilliantly bombastic!
Peace…These people are helping to fund The Third Dead Funny Book of Horror Stories.
