Kaiju is the Japanese term for giant monster fiction. The stories mostly take place in mega cities where these creatures cannot help but wreak havoc, even if they don't intend to. While Godzilla is the beast mostly connected with this sub genre, theres is unlimited potential in a gender on the borderline of Horror, Sci-fi, and Fantasy.

Tevun Krus #140 - Hard Sci-Fi
Tevun Krus goes Hard Sci-Fi for once! What does this mean? Hard science fiction emphasises on scientific or technical detail, or on scientific accuracy, or on both. Stories in this sub genre try to be accurate, logical and credible in their use of current scientific and technical knowledge. Of course there is a degree of flexibility in how far from "real science" a story can stray before it leaves the realm of hard SF. And we definitely don't want to get nitpicking here. So, enjoy what the authors of the mothership have to offer!

With a curse weaved over her heart, death is almost certain for Elowen. After learning her mother was one of the swan fae, she learns that she is slowly being poisoned by the air in the human realm. She must return to the Shaded Realm twice a day to remain healthy. But monstrous creatures lurk in this hidden realm with a taste for both fairy and human flesh. And they seem to have found a way to enter the human realm. It isn't enough for Elowen to discover the cause of the increasingly fragile border between realms. She must find a way to defeat the monsters themselves. |⟡. Cover by @ToWolfKin |⟡. Updates on hold
Deception | Alias Duology
Ever since Denizen gave up being a villain and agreed to go through the villain rehabilitation center, life's been a whole lot less stressful.

But when Deception-his apparently ex-girlfriend with the power to make anyone believe what she says-kidnaps him, everything he knows for sure is thrown out the window. She tells him a very different story than he's come to know, one where they were a disillusioned, struggling young couple with a dream of a world that's not separated by rich and poor, hero and villain, useful and useless. Is Deception friend or foe? Is her story true? As Denizen balances the careful act of compliant prisoner and wayward accomplice while searching for an escape, the lines between hero and villain blur and he is thrown into the struggle to keep himself straight in this world of increasingly expanding shades of grey.

Nightmares On Repeat
What kind of nightmare lies between dream and reality? An inescapable place exists in the deepest depths of the mind where a clawed predator is on the prowl. Desperately running away or hiding is the prey's only hope for survival. And waking up is but a temporary relief as the sky must darken again. Pure mental torment. This is the gruesome fate of Dionte Harris on the first night of December. The new month brings a chilling ordeal that's impossible to forget, even long after the sun rises. When acts of betrayal can't be tried in a court of law, two victims sentence their enemies with their own punishment. These prisoners might not ever experience a peaceful sleep, and the wounded pair responsible can receive satisfaction in their suffering. Unless a beacon of light from above provides an exit, illuminating a path for the lost through the darkness.
