Godzilla Stomp! by Katherine Locke and Nikolas Ilic

June 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Now, I’m that person that roots for the bull instead of the cowboy in bull riding. I love watching the golf ball spin aaaroooound the hole and not go in. I will cheer for the curling kettle to “go go go! Aaaand out of bounds!”  So it should come as no surprise that I will have a hearty hurrah when it comes to movie monsters. And I have a soft spot for Godzilla. But not in Godzilla Stomp! by Katherine Locke. You see, Locke’s Godzilla […]

Snuggle up with Godzilla and friends

Love from Godzilla by Olivia Luchini

July 17, 2023 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Love from Godzilla by Olivia Luchini is due late December 2023-early January 2024, but I was able to find an online reader copy. And I am terribly glad I did. It was a rough start to the day that I saw this goofy kaijus, on a hot pink cover. And it was a bit of a sugary book, it was also the pick me up I needed. I am not a cryptic kind of person usually, but I do like them and sometimes something “hits” just […]

Go, Go, Godzilla

Godzilla: The Official Movie adaptation by Greg Cox

May 16, 2023 by kittenkong42 Leave a Comment

I’m a fan of Kaiju in general, I absolutely love Pacific Rim and hated the western world’s first attempts at Godzilla movies (they were not good). But they tried again back in 2014 and I gave it a shot at the cinema because Ken Watanabe and it seemed a bit more ‘accurate’ to my image of the Big Guy. As a movie it wasn’t perfect and characterisation felt a bit flat so when I did a rewatch over New Year I was steered in the […]

Let’s Save the Endangered Walking Nuclear Dinosaurs

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

April 22, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

I have to admit, I didn’t especially enjoy the only other novel by John Scalzi that I read (Redshirts) so I was hesitant about The Kaiju Preservation Society, but the premise was just too good to not at least give it a chance. The basic gist is that there are parallel worlds to our own Earth, and one them is home to kaiju, basically nuclear powered dinosaurs the size of mountains; once when one accidentally got through the barrier between worlds, someone who saw it […]
