Amazing anthology about Gods and monsters.
As common with every anthology not all of the stories land but they're not terrible.
In the worst case scenario a couple stories a bit too generic for my liking. They don't go beyond the concept of: "Big monster destroys big structure and everyone dies" case in point tales like: "Next in Line" "There Leviathan" and "Rude Awakenings"
They're not bad by any means, but they're nothing you can't see on the scifi channel.
However the are ones who shine are truly original and clever in premise and hit hard.
"The Inner minds of monsters" by Naching Kassa mixes the idea of a psychic warfare with two-mouthed shark-like kaijus gone wrong.
"The Second coming of Sundown" by J. L. Goud is a Power Ranger-esque battle between Jesus Christ and Mecha-Jesus (yes, you heard that right) at the core of a very conservative American town. This one was my personal favorite.
"Leviathan's Legato" by John Baltisberger is a poem about Gods turned into monsters fighting for supremacy. It's so refreshing to see a poem in such a weird concept such as giant monsters, but it works wonders!
"What happened to Burlington" by Moaner T Lawrence tells us what happens when a TV evangelist harnesses unknown ancient power and unleashes the wrath of a primordial demon in the vessel of a garden slug. Great narration.
"Beneath their feet" by K. A. Mielke is too short! It's about nature kaijus who have decimated the earth. It ended way too soon, loved the concept.
If you love giant monsters with a twist I can't recommend it enough.
