Kaiju stories at city scale

This anthology gathers 25 original tales built around enormous creatures and the human communities facing their arrival. Across its stories, urban destruction and collective survival provide a shared frame, while the range of contributors brings multiple approaches to the kaiju premise. The creatures rise from the deep in the publisher’s description, placing the threat on a scale that reaches beyond individual encounters to cities and entire worlds. With contributors including Tananarive Due, Seanan McGuire, Christopher Golden and Scott Sigler, the collection offers a broad survey of monster-centered science fiction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of kaiju and giant-monster fiction
