Frightfully Cosy and Mild Stories for Nervous Types

Cover art by Richard Sampson.

Shadow Publishing is delighted to publish Johnny's second collection of horror yarns, "Frightfully Cosy and Mild Stories for Nervous Types". The book will contain 12 stories, some reprinted from various sources and some new to this collection.

Johnny Mains says: "This collection was originally going to be 'The Difficult Second Collection' but then I discovered that the 'popular disc jockey' Chris Moyles called his latest 'bestseller' 'The Difficult Second Book' and that put paid to that.

The title for this book comes in part from a reviewer who called my first collection 'awfully cosy and mild'. The sentence tickled me so much so (though I didn’t agree with the review!) that I thought I’d pinch it and make it near unrecognisable for this new collection."
