Have you ever wondered what you would do if an insectoid alien showed up at your house looking for a snack?

Written by home cook and amateur cryptozoologist Phoebe Buskey, this guide features over 25 cryptids and 35 original recipes selected for each creature’s specific appetites based on eye-witness reports, food sources available in their natural habitats, and the dietary requirements of similar known species.
“A Monstrous Feast” is also packed with interesting and fun facts, tips for meal planning and budgeting, and special pages for documenting your own cryptid and kitchen encounters. Whether you are feeding a homesick gnome, a Himalayan yeti, or a couple of kids from next door, this book has a recipe for nearly every guest and every occasion.

Upcoming Titles
Scheduled for Spring '27
Little Green Men (anthology/multiple authors)
We are now accepting submissions for this title!
The anthology “Little Green Men” will be a collection of stories inspired by the pulp/Gernsback era (1920s-1950s) of sci-fi literature.
Despite the title, your story doesn’t have to literally include little green men! But we are looking for the kind of stuff you’d find back in the day in publications such as Amazing Stories and Weird Tales: early space explorers battling Martians with ray guns, dinosaurs living on the moon, an alien invasion of Earth, flying saucers, prison planets, Planet X, etc.
Stories should be fun, adventuresome, and original, but must retain the early sci-fi “vibe.”
Submission criteria: Limit of 5,000 words. Submissions must be received by July 1, 2026.
Please send your submissions, along with your name* and address to strangemoonpress@gmail.com with Little Green Men in the subject line.
*Yes, you may use a pseudonym for publishing, but for legal/bookkeeping purposes we will need your legal name as well. Thank you for your cooperation!
Scheduled for late Autumn '26
