''Literature/KaijuRisingAgeOfMonsters'' is a collection of 23 stories published by Creator/RagnarokPublications focused around the theme of strange creatures in the vein of ''Film/PacificRim'', ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'', and more. The anthology opens with a foreword by JEREMY ROBINSON, author of Project Nemesis, the highest selling Kaiju novel in the United States since the old Godzilla books—and perhaps even more than those. Then, from New York Times bestsellers to indie darlings ''Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters'' features authors that are perfectly suited for writing larger than life stories.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Hiroshima and Nagasaski were destroyed by Kaiju unleashed on Japan rather than the (defective) nuclear weapons.
* DisasterMovie: Many of the stories follow this sort of logic, dealing with the aftermath or effect of the monster's attacks.
* GiantEqualsInvincible: Some of the Kaiju are straight-up immune to everything, ''including nuclear weapons.''
* GreenAesop: Shows up in a couple of stories where Kaiju come to destroy the world because humanity has been messing with the Earth.
