“[The Kreep is]…a Gothic poet and illustrator in the tradition of Edward Gorey.”
—Rob Elder, Chicago Tribune

B. R. Kreep is a storyteller. He has authored the book, composed the music, and written the lyrics for over a dozen musicals. Among his recent creations are Mr. Scrooge, Alice Isn’t All There, Kreepy Hollow, and Twist, all of which graced the stage at the 900-seat OFA Theatre in Ogdensburg, New York. His adaptation of A Christmas Carol, titled Mr. Scrooge, enjoyed a five-season run and earned the esteemed title of an “Annual Ogdensburg Holiday Tradition” by the Ogdensburg Journal.

In 2008, The Kreep received a Coraline handmade box numbered 46/50 assembled by the stop-motion animation team at Laika films, honoring their favorite bloggers. Inside the box, numbered 46/50, are decorated secret compartments that contain relics from the film including a bat/dog model, a bat body mold, authentic skeleton key with secret password, and a wing skeleton prototype #3. An old envelope with a wax seal with inlaid black button (as used for the eyes of the witch) and a hand-typed note explained the curious gift: “We admire your dedication to The Kreep. Please keep up the super work. We’ll be reading.”
