Issue No. 2. This issue repeats the first part of the serial published in the first issue, due to that issue's being withdrawn from sale. From the contents page (seen on richarddalbyslibrary.com): "Due to complaints from the public about the contents of the story ERIC THE PIE by Graham Masterton, issue one of FRIGHTENERS was removed from the shelves of most newsagents, virtually killing all sales. In order not to spoil your enjoyment, we have decided to run part one of BLOOD OF SATAN again. We apologise to those of you who did manage to get issue one. We have a limited stock of the offending issue: if you want to find out what the fuss was all about, send £1.50 to us at the address below and a copy of FRIGHTENERS 1 will be in the post to you!" Title page: "Cover painting and illustrations by Oliver Frey"; the title page has an illustration which is signed O.F. on the lower right, while the front cover is signed Oliver Frey on the lower left.
