Bound in Blood Reviews

PRAISE FOR DEAD FUNNY "Johnny Mains not only carries a flame for the old horrors, but wants to cause a bit of a conflagration of his own." Stephen Volk "The book revels in the unsettling overlap between laughter and dread." Financial Times "Johnny Mains is one of these people, his encyclopaedic knowledge and private collection of books and memorabilia is stunning. Seriously Johnny should lay on some catering and provide guided tours round his house. I get excited when I get a personalised book, this guy probably has the authors soul locked up in a mason jar in his cellar." Ginger Nuts of Horror "This is not the result of some job-swapping reality TV show, this is the real thing, with veritable authors pulling many of the stops (and viscera) out to show their worth writing horror. And it's just as nasty as it could be - but in all the right ways." The Bookbag "This book is a treat to read as there are some fantastic tales from writers who are (mostly) new to the genre. If you want some smart, well written horror with a hint of mirth, I strongly encourage you to invest in a copy. Or else." Snakebite Reviews PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR "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. He has extraordinary energy and is fighting a one man battle to preserve and revitalise the noble tradition of the horror anthology. Oh, and he is a nice bloke as well." Charlie Higson
