Andrew Hannon was born and raised in London. He founded Thirteen, the UK's largest short horror story magazine, in 2005. Since his mysterious disappearance in early 2010, the Andrew Hannon Estate, under the Appointeeship of Lord Montague Merryweather, has assumed responsiblity for publishing the horror legacy compiled and edited by Hannon. The Estate, in collaboration with other international organisations (including the Extra-Terrestrial Contact Program of America, the Ghost Taming and Relocation Centre and the Society For Examination of Unclassified Gigantic Marine Life) has part-funded several expeditions to try and find Hannon. These expeditions follow several unconfirmed sightings and inexplicable events which have occured across the globe, which can only be attributed to Hannon (including, but not limited to: the McGriskin Ranch Stampede in Alto Bonito, Texas, USA; the Tertiary Industry Soaring of Chad, Africa; and the Champagne Confusion Incident in Manchester, England).
