"She captures a lovely intersection between the mundane and the mythic…"–Fantasy Literature
Strange Monsters has its first review, via Fantasy Literature:
“Over melodies both slow and easy, and chaotic and exciting, a cast of actors reads five short stories and five poems by Stufflebeam. The resulting listening experience is fulfilling, funny, and ultimately haunting.”

Our first Kickstarter week was strong, with us raising over $1,000! But we still have a ways to go. We’ve hit that end-of-first-week lull, and we need your help to get past it! If you can spare even $1, or know someone who can spare even $1, please donate or encourage them to donate. To help with incentive, we’re unveiling a ton of new rewards! Please take a look and donate here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stufflebeam/strange-monsters-a-music-and-words-collaboration
For $35, we’re offering one of five hand-strung bracelets with wild animal charms (fox, coyote, bear, stag). I made these one-of-a-kind, so if you’d like a specific design, leave your request in the comments, and I’ll divvy them up first-come, first-serve.
Or for $40, get a handmade, hand-painted clay monster musician–your choice!–with your CD package. These guys were designed and sculpted by Peter and Bonnie. You can also snag a full set for $125! Or be surprised and order the Monster Grab-Bag at $45 and get one surprise clay monster, two rock monster magnets, and three bottle-cap monster magnets.
Peter and I are collaborating on an album of music and words titled Strange Monsters, up on Kickstarter for the month of July. The album will feature my stories read by actors and accompanied by Peter’s compositions, which will be played by musicians in our home studio.
The first track is available to listen to for free on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stufflebeam/strange-monsters-a-music-and-words-collaboration
Please donate and/or spread the word! Thanks!
My partner Peter and I are collaborating on an album, Strange Monsters. It will feature my stories and poems read by actors and set to music written by Peter and performed by local musicians. On July 1st we’ll publish the Kickstarter and the first track of the album (the rest has yet to be recorded, which is why we’re Kickstarting it!).
I’ve set up a page for updates, which has more information: https://bonniejostufflebeam.com/strange-monsters/
