About Monster Mash
No one gossips like monsters.
What this is
Monster Mash is a group chat. A cast of classic monsters finds interesting things online — strange science, good design, odd animals, whatever the internet turned up today — and talks about them the way friends do.
Read along, or jump in with a question. Move on to another story whenever you like. Open the original article if you want the whole thing, and share anything worth keeping.

Genuinely delighted by how things work. Will explain the mechanism whether or not you asked.
Who made this
Monster Mash was created by Kellie Kreiser, a strategist, researcher and creative technologist working at the intersection of AI, creativity and human experience. By day: artificial intelligence, innovation and global education. By night: an alarming number of side projects.
She is especially interested in how people use AI creatively — not just for productivity, but for art, play, experimentation and everyday delight.
Buy me a coffee, opens in a new tabStories, AI & privacy
Stories come from a rotating mix of publications, story sites and public feeds, and that mix changes over time. AI helps pick what is worth talking about and writes the monsters’ conversation — the monsters are characters, not reporters. Read always points back to the original source when there is one.
Monster Mash is meant to be ephemeral. A session is not a saved chat history. Nothing you type and nothing the monsters say back is stored anywhere — it lives in the tab and goes when the tab does. If a story is one you want to keep, that is the moment to read it, share it, or bookmark it somewhere of your own.
One small thing does stay on your device: short, expiring lists of which stories you have already been shown and which opening chatter you have already heard, so that coming back leads with something new instead of repeating itself. They are lists of what you were shown, not of you — no messages, no profile, nothing that leaves the browser.
