This past Sunday, I was interviewed by Kaiju Kim, who makes the most wholesome kaiju content you’ll see on YouTube. It was Father’s Day, so the chat was relatively quiet, but we still had a good time discussing kaiju literature–including books and short stories I’ve written and published myself. Give it a watch!

It’s Christmastime on Monster Island, and in the spirit of the holiday, I want to give three lucky kaiju lovers a signed copy of my giant monster novella, Destroyer, which I co-wrote with Natasha Hayden, Nick Hayden, and Timothy Deal (two of whom you’ve heard on the podcast). The rules are simple:
- Write a review of The Monster Island Film Vault on iTunes.
- Send a screenshot of your review to us via the podcast e-mail address: feedback@monsterislandfilmvault.com.
- BONUS: For every other podcatcher besides iTunes on which you write a review of the podcast beyond the first, you get a bonus entry added to the drawing.
- BONUS 2: You’ll get one extra entry if your review includes a 5-star rating.
- BONUS 3: If I get enough entries, I will add two more copies of the book to the drawing as prizes!
- Reviews must be posted and entries submitted between December 16, 2019, and December 31, 2019.
Easy!
Destroyer is a pulpy sci-fi thriller wherein:
The American Alliance army recruits scientists Dr. Steiner and his daughter, Eva, to build a superweapon to end the long war with the Russo-Chinese Coalition. The towering cyborg they create possesses the image of a dragon, the brain tissue of a once-living T-Rex, and the weaponry of an entire army. Dubbed “Rex-1,” the cyborg’s mission is to destroy military targets in Moscow. Closely followed by its creators and military commanders and controlled by telepathic technology, Rex-1 wreaks havoc on the Russians, smiting them like a demonic god. Then the unthinkable happens: Rex-1 goes berserk, defying all orders, and attacks the ship transporting the Americans. Crashing behind enemy lines in the heart of Moscow, Dr. Steiner and his group are caught in the middle of Rex-1’s rampage. Now with distrust and madness tearing his fellow survivors apart, Dr. Steiner has only one goal: DESTROY REX-1! This new deluxe edition features the bonus story “House of the Living” by Nick Hayden, presented here in print for the first time!
Can you guess which Godzilla film inspired the story?
You can read “Chapter 6: Berserk” of the novella on a previous blog on podcast website.
Merry Christmas!
(I guess I better get Jimmy From NASA a gift now…).
