Purveyor of fine goods for monsters of every kind.
Bespoke and everyday items for the living, dead and undead. Located at 159 Hoxton Street, London.
This is a great shop, the only one in the world we know of which supplies such fine goods for monster consumption. It’s also a great way to get people interested in creative writing. The Monster Supply Shop is a front for the Ministry of Stories – behind a secret door is a free space for workshops and one-to-one mentoring for writing by young people. The services are provided by volunteers: local writers, artists and teachers, all giving their time and talent for free.
This place oozes creativity and just being in the shop gets visitor imagination buzzing. It’s a well-crafted effort to convince supporters and writers with any inkling of hesitation to come on in and stay.
