Hiya! I'm James. I live in Middlesbrough and I'm a writer. (I'm the one on the left.) I write bonkers MG adventure stories.
I've written two novels so far: The Unbelievable Biscuit Factory and Happytown Must Be Destroyed. They are a bit skew-whiff and not for everyone! But I think you’ll dig ‘em.

Amazingly, hot new TV show Pluribus appears to have the EXACT same premise as my book Happytown Must Be Destroyed. Dunno how I feel about that other than: great premise! Bet Happytown is funnier though.

October Monster 31: The Wise Old Chutney
Venerated elder of the fridge community. Has sprouted several grey hairs. Is it spicy? Well it’s old so it has some pretty, uh, strongly held opinions and hot takes. Don’t get it started about politics or whether ketchup should be kept in the fridge.

October Monster 27: Immortal Onion
Sits alone in your cupboard, plotting. It doesn’t like you: You ate its friends then forgot about it. It grows harder. It sprouts tendrils. Then one day it’s gone. Maybe… maybe it’s coming to find you and make you pay. Or maybe someone finally threw it out. Maybe.

October Monster 25: Vampire Bee
Causes low blood sugar. Sucks the blood from your neck, then the sugar from that blood, to make honey that’s not so much “runny” as “run down-y”

October Monster 24: The Little Beep
Beepbeepbeep. You hear a quiet beeping. Is it the fire alarm? The microwave? Your straighteners? A deadly robot hiding in your wardrobe, waiting for the right moment to attack? No, it’s this Little Beep. Usually. You might want to check your wardrobe for robots.

My god, this trailer ❤️
A new French sci-fi animated film is being released today in France: Arco, and it looks promising.

October Monster 20: Magic Mirror
When light hits the silvery backing on this mirror it bounces back at an angle equal to the angle it struck the surface and the light doesn’t scatter, creating a clear, coherent image that our brain interprets as a reflection! And that’s magic! Or science. Whichever

October Monster 18: Arctic Ghost
Arctic ghosts have evolved a darker colouring so they don’t totally blend in with the background. The last thing you need is a ghost you can’t see. That’s just science.

If you’re lying in the dark, worried that Mothman is in there with you my advice is DON’T SWITCH THE LIGHT ON. Either a) he IS in there and you can now see him or b) now the light’s on he’s going to be battering your window til he gets in. Just go to sleep. Sweet dreams.

We’ve all made mistakes! Like the time you accidentally read that incantation from that grimoire while standing in front of that mirror that Halloween. Or maybe that’s just me. We can laugh about it now, me and this dude, but he refuses to go back into the mirror.
