Japan is the land of giant monsters and tiny poems. Kaiju Haiku fuses these two cultural forces into one stunning full-color explosion!
Remember the awe of discovering giant monster movies as a child? Imagine recapturing that magic. Experience the wonder one more time through stunning haiku set to surreal abstract comic book art.
Each poem is a small exploration of kaiju cinema. A burst of nostalgia. A pop of insight. Lurking below the surface, they are also an invitation to slow down, to look twice. Mirrors disguised as windows. What will you see looking back at you?
Then, like a burst of the fireball from outer space the vivid kaleidoscopic comic art of Jason McBride explodes onto each page - transporting you to parts unknown.
Kaiju Haiku is an art museum that fits into your pocket. A traveling companion. Reach for it anytime the ordinary becomes a little too ordinary. The giant monsters are waiting.
Advance Reviews:
"It's perhaps fitting that there would be kaiju haiku (hey, it rhymes!), both being Japanese, of course, but it's absolutely fitting that it's Chad Boykin who unleashes it on an unsuspecting populace in this groovy little tome. I loved and admired his Twilight Zone Haiku, but this one hit an even deeper, more visceral sweet spot for me. Upon reading it, I'm ready to stomp a few buildings while carrying some lotus blossoms, as is proper."
-Jim Beard, writer, editor, publisher of the D.C. Jones and Adventure Command International series
"Kaiju Haiku' uses the elegance of haiku to explore the humanity of monsters and the inhumanity of man, filtered through a loving lens of pop culture adoration. Two gigantic monster thumbs up!"
-Matt Buchholz, Alternate Histories, author of Night of the Monsters
"If you venerate
Vast creatures and concise verse
This book is for you"
-Tony Albarella, editor of As Timeless as Infinity: The Complete Twilight Zone Scripts of Rod Serling series
"Rampaging through the pages of Kaiju Haiku is an unstoppable combination of insightful haikus and beautiful illustrations. Chad Ellis Boykin and Jason McBride remind us that the Japanese movie monsters are fascinating creatures that share the universal desire to live and experience joy."
-Mickey Dubrow, author of The Magic Maker
