Celebrating Legacies: Gunsmoke and Story Monsters LLC

As the iconic Gunsmoke TV series approaches its 70th anniversary on September 10, 2025, we at Story Monsters LLC—home to Book Street Press, formerly Five Star Publications, now entering its 40th year on September 14, 2025—are proud to honor a legacy that transcends generations.

“Gunsmoke: An American Institution – Celebrating 50 Years of Television’s Best Western,”written by Ben Costello, with a foreword by Jim Byrnes and an introduction by Jon Voight, is more than just a book; it’s a tribute to an enduring piece of television history and a cherished project for us.

While Story Monsters LLC focuses on children’s literature, our Book Street Press division proudly embraces projects that celebrate lasting cultural legacies and more, showcasing stories that inspire, educate, and leave a meaningful impact across generations.

In publishing this book, we had the privilege of working closely with Ben Costello, who entrusted us with his vision and dedication to preserving the legacy of Gunsmoke. Though he is no longer with us and now holds a place in heaven, his passion lives on through these pages. With this book and our continued dedication, we proudly carry forward his legacy.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY …

 
I can’t tell you how much I’ve benefited from working with Story Monsters LLC. I’ve been in this industry a long time and have never had the type of collaborative relationship that I have with you and your team. You genuinely care about what’s important to me. The quality of the marketing materials your team has done for us and the visibility you’ve given us through social media are above and beyond what we expected...All the ads, press releases, and email blasts that Story Monsters has created for us have been amazing...Being a small press, it’s nice to work with a team that has my back!
