Written on a typewriter and hand-illustrated, the novel required a number of fictional old B&W monster movie posters.

Wonder how many readers take the time to read the fake movie "credits" at the bottom of the posters. 🤔

Great news! Meg Tosi's broken drawing arm (e-bike accident) is healed. As evidenced in this video, her freehand linework is as good as ever!

Even better news if you or someone you know is interested in how graphic novels are created. Meg has a Patreon page where she posts images and videos showing her process as well as previews of upcoming work.

Some of the material is free (like this video), but you can get access to a lot more with a small fee. Plus, you'll be supporting the artist!

Meg is the creator of the Dweedy comic series and the illustrator of "Six Thousand Doughnuts," "Squashed," "The Curse of the Crummy Mummy," and more.

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙮 𝙈𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙮" and "𝙎𝙞𝙭 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙨" audiobooks are available for free to holders of public library cards in New Hampshire via the Libby app.

The downside is you don't get to experience the delightful illustrations of Meaghan Tosi. The upside is you get to bring the evocative performance of Michael Crouch along on your walk.

Not in New Hampshire? Ask your local library to carry the titles. Enjoy autumn!
