Seven teams entered the Trapped by Monsters Wimbledon mini-league. Once again, my team is sadly residing at the bottom of the table. It appears my results in the French Open league were not a fluke – I can now confirm that I know nothing about tennis. This is bad for my bank balance, but good [...]

Picture This!
Well, the monster did swallow this picture of himself but burped it up a little later. Poor Joe is still missing, presumed digested, though well done for sending us all a message mate. Just so you have a sense of scale – this picture, at 9′ long, is half the size of the real thing. [...]
Ooooh… Aaaah… Pretty…
It’s not often we get to see anything pretty down here. I mean, David’s not bad if you squint, but he’s so often covered in snot these days (and how he wishes it was his own…). So it lifted my damp little heart when I got an email from my publishers via MonsterNet to show [...]
Hang in there, Joe!

Yesterday I was allowed out of the caves to do my stuff at a brilliant event, the Leicester Teen Read Expo. Check my blog to [...]
From Jack Slater, Monster Investigator (II)

Giant Sleepover
Straight after the Trapped By Monsters event in Abingdon on Saturday, I donned my pyjamas and dashed off with my monster jailer to a cub and beaver camp in Northampton to take part in the Giant Sleepover. I’d been asked to read a spooky story to the assembled campers before they settled down for the [...]
“Ketch” You Later
What do you see here? A humble bottle of sauce? Or what’s soon to become the most feared literary harbinger of doom since The Black Spot in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island? In addition to Tommy’s horrifying post below, further distressing details of Saturday’s dark doings may be discerned at the Mostly Books blog, here.
Contenders… Ready!
Well, I suppose it had to happen… Tired of keeping us locked in dark, depressing caves and watching us struggle to understand the unfamiliar Monstrese letters on our bone keyboards as we write for this blog, the monsters went one step further. We were blindfolded and taken to a theatre in leafy Abingdon where we [...]
