“Salt Made from Tears of Boredom” and “Tins of Escalating Pain” are not products made by dramatic teenagers. Rather, these items are for sale at Hoxton Street Monster Supplies. The proceeds from this East London shop support a creative writing youth charity called the Ministry of Stories. Just in time for Halloween, the charity has published The Monster's Cookbook, which offers up recipes for the living, the dead and the undead. Learn more about the project and the book from Ilona Leighton-Goodall, one of the charity's directors.

Music: "Monster Mash (Live)" by the Beach Boys
