🦇17 STORIES OF DEATH AND DESIRE You can buy my book of horror short stories on Amazon UK amzn.eu/d/jjvTFgL US a.co/d/h8Ugz1K

[@Rob-z7k]

I just saw this book an hour ago at my comic store. I looked at my phone for price comparison...and was shocked its Sold Out Everywhere! I hid the book so i can go back and buy it!

[@johndoran3465]

Just ordered 2 copies ones for myself and a copy for my sons 22nd birthday. I've always wanted him to have a slice from my childhood.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Fantastic! I hope you enjoy (I'm sure you will).

[@eelponna3145]

It’s a shame they ignored the holiday specials with this book

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

I agree. I wonder if there's enough for a second volume if this one sells well?

[@SimonAlexanderMarlow]

Finally got my copy today. Well worth the forty year wait. I've got quite a few Creepy archives but Scream has a British sensibility that reminds me of childhood. Not that Creepy isn't great too. So glad it's selling so well. The first run seemed to vanish in days hence the long estimated delivery times. Glad i got in quickly.

My all time favourite comic as a kid. I was gutted when Issue 16 never materialised. I LOVED The Nightcomers, and was desperate for the promised "New adventure" next time. It would be about 35 years before it was finally published as a free pull-out supplement in Judge Dredd Megazine - obviously I was all over that when it came out. My copy of 40 Years came a couple of weeks ago and it's such a lovely thing. So well reproduced and printed - just a shame that the glossy pages don't quite have the nostalgia factor of the old newsprint it used to come on. I'd have liked to have seen the Holiday Specials included, but I can see why they weren't for a few reasons (page count, stories were sometimes reproduced from the main title). However, i hear rumblings that TOBC are working on a separate volume to cover those. How accurate that is, I don't know, but I'll be chuffed if it's true. Aside from The Nightcomers, 13th Floor, Monster and Dracula Files, I also LOVED the different one-shot collections The Library Of Death and A Ghastly Tale which were equivalents of Future Shocks, I suppose. Two stick in my mind more than the rest - The Drowning Pond and Green Fingers - the latter because although it was supposed to be humorous, I found the idea of having accidentally killed your mother utterly horrific. I just wish I hadn't read my old copies until they fell apart, and then thrown them out. But you cna say that about any childhood item - toys, clothes, etc. I guess I wouldn't love it so much if I'd not read them so often!

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

It's a lovely collection, isn't it? I'd be happy for a second volume covering the specials. A few years ago I was on a mission to fill the gaps in my 2000AD collection (with thanks to Ebay and Incognito Comics). I bought myself those 15 Scream issues again as well as the short run of Starlord comics.

[@channelmeaspirit]

I remember missing the first issue, and getting the 2nd issue with the rubber spider. I can't believe they published it in a Hardback, WOW!

[@73reider]

I was 10 circa 84 & a BUSTER reader (well any comic i could get my hands on really) & vividly remember "SCREAM" being advertised a few weeks prior to release in various comics, Whizzer & chips, Buster etc, So the anticipation was building for weeks, I still remember the excitement of buying the First Issue of Scream with free fangs & pouring over every page, Magic times...

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Fantastic memories. I'm a similar age and still clearly remember arguing with my mum that the comic would not give me nightmares. I HAD to have it!

[@73reider]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse Comics to me then is like what youtube is to kids now, I was obsessed, Remember buying Scream no 1, Spike no 1, School Fun no 1, But i loved them all, Victor, Battle, Warlord, Beano, Topper, Tiger, Dandy, Whizzer/chips, Wow, Whoopee etc etc, I could go on and on, And don`t get me going on Annuals, I still buy them,, Got a 1979 Topper Annual in a second hand book shop the other day, I still love comics/Annuals..

[@MattJMcDade]

Thanks for the video. It's because of you that I found that this was available, and finally got it from eBay, as it immediately sold out and is out of print! I was 10 in 1984 and, like you, lapped these up, with The Dracula File being my favourite. Unfortunately, my parents went through a bit of a Christian fundamentalist phase and ended up binning the lot in the autumn of 1984, hence me being really pleased to now have a copy of all 15 issues in hard copy! Thanks again!

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

It's my pleasure! I'm so glad you got your hands on a copy 😊

[@briandunlop9262]

I've got that book it is absolutely stunning......BUT I also have all the original 15 issues from 1984 one of my most prized possessions

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Same here! Well, not the issues I originally bought back then because I was a kid and I cut out all my favourite pictures! But many years later I decided to try and hunt them down again.

[@bulbhead3333]

I just ordered this book. I loved this comic as a kid. Stories were pretty brutal if i remember rightly. I was only able to get hold of one comic back in the day.

[@darrylsloan]

Beautiful. I opted for the cheaper digital version. "Misty" is also a great British horror comic.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Good shout on Misty

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Good shout on Misty

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

Out of stock now😥

[@NessNayii]

I used to love Scream; this collection looks gorgeous! Regards Andrew's own book, pick it up folks - it's really good!!!

[@julianvasquez-jeggo9364]

Just about to buy this. Still have some mint comics in my parents loft. Golden times

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Yes, great memories.

[@JohnDavis-cw6yv]

Great video!! I'm definitely to be picking up a copy of your book. As a kid, I remember Marvel used to publish a horror series in the 70s. There was Tomb of Dracula, a Frankenstein, and Werewolf by Night. I used to love those comics. Keep up the great work!!

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

I'd love to find a cheap collection of Tomb of Dracula some day. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the book!!!

[@Mark-nh2hs]

As a kid around 6 I was into the 80s era The Eagle and I'm sure Scream crossed over or got morphed into The Eagle as 13th Floor with Max I remember and the rampaging T Rex (Bloodfang??). And other dark twisted stories from that era of The Eagle - such good memories

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Yes, Eagle definitely folded some Scream stories into its comic after Scream folded.

[@CJWright-HorrorAuthor]

Looks like an amazing collection. Definitely going to pick myself up a copy from Amazon.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Excellent 😊

[@ems3recombination208]

Needs a free set of Dracula fangs sellotaped to the cover.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

That would be great! 😂

[@ProfessorOddfellow]

What a beauty!

[@rosiereviewsbooks72]

Iv never heard of scream but looks really cool with have to check it out.

[@Jim17735]

Brilliant, been waiting ages for this, are they reprinted in full with the letters pages ? I need to see Arthur Daley with dripping fangs 😁 I lost all my copies years ago, who was Screams horror hosts name please anyone ?

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

No letters pages, I'm afraid. The comic's host was Ghastly McNasty,

[@Tchernobog]

wish they were turned in anthology show, just it wouldnt be able capture that art style in live action

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Maybe an animated show?

[@suededogs9670]

A dream come true❤

[@crankcuffin1948]

I pre otdered this but got cancelled which was really upsetting not to get such a piece of history. History lost 😞

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

It did sell out very quickly. I think a lot of people are holding out hope for a re-print. I have my fingers crossed for you.

[@Dan_Does]

I was expecting that book to cost a fortune! Not at all! Absolute bargain! Too many exclamation marks!!!

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Enjoy!!!

[@TheRetroEngine]

Loads of 2000AD artists in there too.

[@arnodk2852]

2000AD/Rebellion owns Scream (they bought the rights to Scream, and Misty, Battle Action and a whole bunch of other older British comics)

[@GeekLegionofDoom]

I used to collect those comics too. I remember some pretty good stories actually. I actually looked at purchasing the issues on ebay myself. I may have to look at picking that up. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. 😊

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

My pleasure. I know they've also collected specific stories from Scream, like The Dracula Files, Monster and The Thirteenth Floor, but I had to get this so I could read everything from 1 to 15!

[@GeekLegionofDoom]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse How was was it on Amazon?

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

[@GeekLegionofDoom]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse how much sorry? £££

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

@@GeekLegionofDoom ah! About the £40 mark

[@xKynOx]

I used to read Scream as a kid the only one i remember though is The 13th Floor.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

13th Floor was definitely a highlight

[@ManicRay]

Do they happen to include the holiday specials? I remember getting the 1987 one and I loved it.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

They do not include the holiday specials.

[@ManicRay]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse That's a shame. I will probably pick it up anyway.

[@101Waylander]

Just ordered my copy.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

Nice!

[@cuddywifter8386]

I wonder if the 13th floor 1999 movie was partly inspired by that story?

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

could be

[@eelponna3145]

I ordered this a couple months back from Amazon when it was in stock but it was never despatched - then not in stock anymore and seemingly no new ones to be issued. Unless someone can tell me different?

[@SimonAlexanderMarlow]

My aunty bought me an issue one summer, then my mum wouldn't let me keep it. I was tempted by the fancy pants slipcover version but looks like I'm too late. I will definitely pick up this version though. Don't tell my mum.

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

I remember having a very drawn out debate with my own mum as to whether or not she'd let me buy Scream. Pester power 80s style.

[@SimonAlexanderMarlow]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse Great days. As a result of not being able to have them they've taken on a kind of mythic status in my mind, can't wait to have a proper look at them. I was only six so maybe she had a point, but I don't have kids so it's not for me to say really.

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

Any idea whether this will come back in stock?

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

I don't have any info I'm afraid. It might be a case of checking in on the 2000AD online shop every once in a while.

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse Will do so Sir

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

@@SAFFRONINFERNO good luck 🤞

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse Thank you

[@tennkenobi]

Can’t see this anywhere on Amazon Uk!

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

How strange. You will definitely be able to find it in the 2000AD online shop in the graphic novel section.

[@tennkenobi]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse Cheers!

[@tennkenobi]

@@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse It’s back on Amazon and £15 cheaper than 2000AD BUT several months delivery estimate !!! Argh! 😅

[@GrumpyAndrewsHorrorHouse]

@@tennkenobi that Amazon delivery estimate can't be right, surely? You might see if it's on the Forbidden Planet website.

[@finger3181]

I got it from Amazon and it said about 4 weeks delivery. Arrived in 2 days. It's beautiful.
