When the great holy bullock from Heavenly Pastures snatches Christmas away from the unimpressed residents of Burley Smutt, chaos erupts.Enter Tinkerbell Fanny McWiddle, a cantankerous 77.5-year-old mass-murderer and the unlikely leader of a ragtag group from the poky little pub, the Humbug & Harp.

Get ready for a deliciously odd, laugh-out-loud adventure filled with mysterious strangers, sociopathic pensioners, pirates, ogres, deadly turkey-human hybrids, and the unexpected heroes Burley Smutt never knew it needed.It's granny versus devil in a battle for the festive soul of an entire planet!

From Frankenstein's birth to a completely ruined Peter Rabbit. We rollin'!
THE HOUSE WHERE MONSTERS WERE BORN
A wild party in 1816 gives birth to famous monsters.
Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1816! We're not shy and we're proud to say this is the best edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ever published. Well, maybe if you have your hands on one of the first 500 copies ever printed, that'll be pretty spesh, but this hefty baby here will only set you back a fistful of bucks and you won't need cotton gloves to handle it.In this book you get all the stories that influenced the creation of the two most famous and feared monsters who ever lived, died, and lived again before dying again.And then you get the stories themselves: Frankenstein, unabridged and as Mary Shelley intended it in her first 1818 publication, and John William Polidori's The Vampyre, which went on to heavily influence Bram Stoker in his creation of Dracula.There's the complete first theatrical adaptation of Frankenstein from 1823, and a chin scratching introduction that suggests a third monster was born on the same weekend. And that monster walks among us today!
THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT AND BARRY
A classic from Lady Prudence Winifred St. Clair while she was on some serious juice.
So we ruined Peter Rabbit.Our favourite Absinthe-sipping aristocrat, Lady Prudence Winifred St. Clair phoned the other day from her time machine in 1901 to say she's through with Peter Rabbit and all his friends going lippity lippity all over the joint."It's complete bollocks," she said. So she deployed the services of her servant, Winifred to make it less bollocks with some god-awful illustrations.Barry joins Peter for the first time in this all new adventure because of his experience in raiding meth labs.If you read this to kids, you're a nob.

STORIES MADE
Stories told by axe, knife, hand, pen and brush. This is where we play with more than just words. We shape parts of trees while sitting in their shade. And yes we make monsters!
WE ♥︎ MONSTERS
We are a new and tiny publishing house (actually, more like a shed) with a love of monsters. Brain breath zombies, freakos with monsters inside their headbone, bedevilled bunnies on shrooms, classic old skool fiends and big beasties with scales and tiny arms...they're all welcome here.For now, submissions are closed until we sort shit out with our two main amazing authors: J.D. Donne and Lady Prudence Winifred St. Clair. But one day, if things go our way, this may change.Go read a book. One of our books. And if you find the experience more pleasant than an enema, tell somebody about it.Peace & monster teeth,
JD.
