Tell a story concerning the dead? (6)
I believe the answer is:
relate
'tell a story' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'concerning the dead?' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'the dead?' becomes 'late' (I've seen this before).
're'+'late'='RELATE'
(Other definitions for relate that I've seen before include "Do well; wave about" , "Recite - marriage guidance organisation" , "Show a connection between (things)" , "Tell - the marriage guidance people" , "Give a report or show a connection" .)
