Continuing with my series of Fun Facts about 
Lost Creatures: Stories, here are a couple of facts about two of the stories in the collection that center around giant monsters.
***********************
LOST CREATURES Fun Fact #5The concept for 
Scattered Showers with a Chance of Daikaiju, the opening story in 
Lost Creatures: Stories, came to me while watching the movie 
War of the Gargantuas back in 1990. I thought: if Japan is always being attacked by giant monsters, would meteorologists in Japan forecast daikaiju attacks along with the weather?
LOST CREATURES Fun Fact #6Another of my "giant monster" themed stories that appears in 
Lost Creatures: Stories is “The Curse of the Amazing Colossal Thing From Outer Space,” which originally appeared in the anthology 
Drive In Creature Feature.
