Monster supplies from Hoxton Monster Supplies

Hoxton Monster Supplies, my local outlet of the 826 Valencia literacy charity, has put some of its marvellous "monster supplies" online, including tins of Mortal Terror and Night Sweats, cubes of earwax, and fang floss. These folks do wonderful work, and they've got really cool package design.

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 used to live at 879 Valencia. Seems like the hood has gotten fancified since 1979.

Guys, don’t buy this. You don’t have to pay for this product… I’ve been getting this for years FOR FREE.

No shipping to the US (sad monster face), although I emailed them to ask if they would anyway.

Brain, stop! No pondering what psychoactive chemicals could be added to the compositions to actually trigger the effects stated on the label!

Reminds me of the Robot Repair Shop in Ann Arbor.
