Book Synopsis
RADIOACTIVE DREAMS, HALLUCINATED MEMORIES, LOVE SONGS TO THE SWAMP.
The kaiju that stalk our imaginations and flatten our cities are deep reservoirs of meaning. Wonder, dread, the sublime - the giant reptilian feet slamming through concrete, the radioactive fire melting steel, humanity's doom made vicious, eldritch flesh.
Collecting poems and short stories about giant monsters from Godzilla to Gorgo and everywhere in between, Devastation Songs is an essential companion to your monster movie of choice.
A potion of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Freedom From Torture, a charity who work with torture survivors and refugees.
Review Quotes
A gorgeous collection of poetry, fiction, and self-examination, all through the lens of giant monsters; the authors are not simply fans of kaiju but weavers of their mythology. Within these pages is something for anyone who's ever felt a kinship with a great beast."
- Cressa Maeve Áine
Devastation Songs is a treasure chest for anyone casually interested in (or downright obsessed with) Godzilla and other kaiju. This diverse, rich, and endlessly creative collection of poetry and prose inspired by giant monsters from Japan and around the world is a revelation and a joy. Offering vivid imagery, raw emotions, a touch of sadness, and flashes of humour, this book is bursting with insights on kaiju, why we are fascinated by them, and what that fascination reveals about us as humans."
