WHY don’t pharmacies sell this?
Almost the opposite of a pharmacy, Hoxton Monster Supplies (www.monstersupplies. org) sells items which could inspire ill health, such as cans of ‘A Vague Sense of Unease’, tins of ‘The Collywobbles’ and a dollop of ‘Escalating Panic’ for £8 each. The shop is an outpost of the Ministry of Stories, a creative writing and mentoring centre for young people in East London, and never fear - opening the cans won’t actually see you overcome with Mortal Terror (also on sale) but will actually reveal a story written by various authors, including Ministry founder and ‘About a Boy’ writer, Nick Hornby (apothecary of The Collywobbles tin) and some lollies for good measure. The Ministry runs creative writing workshops for those aged 8 to 18 years old to build self respect and communication. To find it, you have to go through the shop, which also sells Impacted Earwax bars, Bah! Humbugs and Salt (made from tears of sorrow).
