Cereal Killers -- forthcoming book of spooky funny cereal box art

Cereal Killers -- a forthcoming "coffin table book" from Kreepsville Industries -- is a collection of lavish, spooky, Wacky-Package-style parodies of cereal box art. The publisher is serializing (ahem) the art from the book on a blog prior to publication, which will be a print-on-demand project from Lulu. Can't wait to order mine -- this looks GRRRREAT! Link (Thanks, Sage!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

idk… this doesn’t really point out the decline of cereal box art as much as i had hoped it would. I feel like this is more of a perversion of cereal box art and would be just as relevant at any other point in time.

Dr. Hypercube, that’s a great mural. Where in Brooklyn is it?

Do any of them have free vials of cat urine inside? Or are those $2.99 with 3 UPCs from select sizes?

Hahaha, I just RTFA and LOL. Tinkles. Close enough!

TNH – the mural was just north of Williamsburg – Wythe and somewhere close to 14th. I mapped the big Flickrpic as best I recall. We were looking for CB’s I Hate Perfume (http://www.cbihateperfume.com/), but he wasn’t open – perfume that smells like burning leaves in the fall? Libraries? Yow!
