Stefan Bucher's new book 100 Daily Monsters is the end-product of a 100-day-long experiment in which Bucher posted a daily video of himself squirting a random blob of ink onto paper and then coloring in and around it to make it into a hairy, scary (and animated) monster. The videos are utterly charming and not a little hypnotic, and Bucher's blog has tons of monsters and their stories from fans all over the world.

The book looks like it'll be a be a treat -- and it comes with a DVD of the videos from the site. Link to Bucher's monster blog, Order the book on Amazon (Thanks, Bruce!)

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.

    I saw Stefan’s early copy of the book a few weeks ago and it’s super, super fun. For LA folks, he’s having a book release party at 826LA’s Time Travel Mart in Echo Park from 5-10 on Sat., March 15th.
