In 2002, Terry Deary, and Eaglemoss Publications released the Horrible Histories Magazine Collection and in 2005 some of the titles in the series were released as free audiobooks as part of a promotion with breakfast cereal. Originally planned to be 60, the series was continued with an additional 20.

The series of the collection issues were distributed by Cornag Magazine Marketing, printed by UK company Headley Bros and Icon Reproductions for the colouring.
