Four stars for total quality, and an extra one for the brilliant theme.Nearly every story is a winner. There were a few that didn't quite hit the right spot for me, but they were all well-written, and we all have different tastes, so I am sure others will have different views.I'd even throw an extra star in there for the amazing artwork supplied with each story.Read it. You won't regret it
Lots of great stories. My favorite was The Behemoth.
Yes, I am the project creator and co-editor of KAIJU RISING: Age of Monsters. Yes, that does make me super biased. Yes, KR:AoM is the greatest anthology ever assembled, bias or not. KAIJU RISING is the realization of a dream. It is the product of a lot of hard work from a lot of amazing people. I don't give KAIJU RISING 5-stars because it's my baby (and Joe's and Tim's -- strange parents I know). I give it 5-stars because our authors were able to make a pipe dream a reality. And then our artists...
Really fantastic anthology about big monsters. Everything is covered from POV's, different time periods, small, large and epic scale battles. It's no surprise that the stories with a bit of Asian flavour come off as more authentic and cultured, I think giant robots fighting monsters was probably their first concept and it has been refined and re-explored since then.
Awesome--an entire anthology devoted to kaiju stories, that is, stories about city-flattening monsters!I have observed that this is a difficult subgenre of horror or science fiction to write within. Much like car chases, Godzilla-sized monsters originated from film, and are in many ways better suited to the big screen and have proven to be more popular (and commercially successful) there. The big five don't seem to take chances on publishing kaiju novels, with most recent examples being small pr...
If you ever grew up a fan of Saturday morning monster movies, if you ever played in the yard as a kid making like Godzilla tossing around your Hot Wheels, if you ever dreamed it would epic to pilot a giant robot into combat against giant dinosaur like creatures, if you ever wanted, as an adult, to reclaim some of your childhood...then the collection of short stories in Kaiju Rising is exactly what you are looking for. This collection runs the gamut of incredibly well crafted stories, from Alien
Individual reviews below: Big Ben and the End of the Pier Show: The first story in this collection, and it's great introduction so far. Focusing on a small pier owner in England and the effect of a Kaiju attack on his failing business, I get the feel that focusing on human element of the kaiju situation is the right way to tell these kinds of stories in fiction, and it's something I hope to see more of in the future stories. The monster fight between Red Devil and Big Ben (awesome awesome awes...
What a great book of escapism!!! Lots of very talented authors combine to bring us a vast array of Kaiju stories. Standouts are Kane Gilmour, Larry Correia and JC Koch, but I enjoyed almost all of them!!!! A great anthology
Enjoyed the bulk of the stories. It was interesting to see so many different views of Kaiju. Nice bunch of short stories.
If you like monster stories (Godzilla types) you will love this book of short stories. Some of my favorite authors got together and wrote about things that rise out of the ocean to destroy us.I really enjoyed the imagination of these authors. Some of these stories are downright scary - Some are told from the monsters point of view. Very intriguing.
