This is a short message to everyone who submitted to book 3. They have

Book 3 submissions - the door is now officially shut (sorry)
Yes, sadly I'm having to close the door on submissions for forthcoming
anthologies. Thanks to everyone who's sent stuff in for book 3, I'm about
to (as of March 24th) start reading through 'em and will be in touch with
you all shortly. Once book 3 is out we'll think about doing further books
- watch this space.
Cover of anthology 2
Here you go - a preview of what the cover looks like...
And here's the back:
The more eagle-eyed amongst you may recognise some of the text - I haven't
gone all verbose all of a sudden, it's taken from the backs of a couple
of the original Pan books.
 The
new BHF Anthology features a stunning painting by Paul Mudie, which neatly
illustrates the subject of one of the stories inside (and you thought
we just threw these things together!)

Anthology 1
The First BHF (as in British Horror Films) short story anthology
went on sale in August 2006. A tribute to the famous Pan Books Of Horror
from the 1960s and 70s, it contains 19 blood curdling tales of terror,
written by fans of British horror films from across the world.
 The
stories range from modern tales of terror to gothic stories of the supernatural.
For many of the authors it is the first time that their work has been
in print (not that you’d know it from the quality!).
The authors are: John Reppion, Wendell McKay, Albie Swain, Christopher
Wood, Wayne Mook, Billy Turner, Neil Christopher, James Brough, Matt Bowdler,
Paul Newman, James Stanger, and Daniel McGachey. But that’s not
all – the anthology has been specially illustrated by artists Lawrence
Bailey and Paula Fay, and is wrapped in a stunning cover painted by Paul
Mudie.
