Gulp
In honour of our plight being mentioned this weekend by the very publication in which many of his cartoons originally appeared, here’s another monsterpiece by Charles Addams. I really, really hope Addams didn’t draw this dude from real life, like he did with Gwyneth. We haven’t seen anyone who looks like this yet have we, [...]
A Window of Opportunity?
Joe’s question about monsters on the previous post prompted me to have a quick scan around the web and by chance I stumbled across this: Monsters vs Aliens It seems that Dreamworks have been cooking this one up for a while, but I’m guessing the monsters will all get invites to the premiere … are [...]
What IS a Monster?
While I’ve been sitting here, curled up in the corner of the cave, wrapped in some kind of hide (possibly human? I’m trying not to think about it), I’ve found my mind distracted from the insane ramblings carved on the walls by previously interned writers. I’ve started to wonder what a monster is. Maybe this [...]
The Monster Mash
Considering the fact that the monsters have so much technology, I’m very disappointed that their taste in music is not more developed. Blusterfart the Unsteady has not stopped humming this darned song all day and it’s driving me mad … again. It annoyed me when I was a lad, and it’s just as irritating now! [...]
New York, New York
Welcome to all the new visitors to the cave who found Trapped By Monsters via our mention on the New Yorker website. Pull up a tentacle and make yourself comfortable… You can see the entry here: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2009/02/in-the-news-poe-1.html
The Creeping Horror
You know what? I don’t think we’re the first humans to be kidnapped and held here like this. I’ve been having a rummage in the cave system’s archives. As you’d expect, there’s an enormous amount of monster propaganda in here, but the big surprise to me is that so many of what I took to [...]
The Word On The Street
Word of our capture is definitely spreading… We’ve been mentioned at the utterly brilliant ReadingZone.com Read the full piece here: http://www.readingzone.com/?page=fullnews&id=577 And, to prove we’re truly an international phenomenon, we had a review in the Paris based ActualLitte.com If your French is good enough, you can see that article here: http://www.actualitte.com/actualite/8155-capturer-monstres-auteurs-jeunesse-aventures.htm Now to sit back [...]
Horror Fridge
It’s strange what sitting in a cave so long will do to you. Obviously there are ointments for some of the effects – but not for others. I am regressing… hurtling back to my youth to where this whole sorry situation must have begun. Like many a teenager I wrote poems. But not romantic angsty [...]
