I Like Big Beasts and I Cannot Lie

Today we go behind the scenes with Batman Meets Godzilla writer, Matthew Dennion, a man who really loves Japanese monster movies.

Growing up in New Jersey, Saturday afternoon creature features were a staple of the Dennion Household viewing diet.

“Dad got us hooked on the likes of Toho, Ray Harryhausen, and such, at a young age,” says Dennion.

Matthew’s interest in monsters continued to grow until he began writing about his own. He is now the author of numerous kaiju novels including: Chimera Scourge of the God, Operation R.O.C., Atomic Rex, and Polar Yeti.

​Dennion’s monster stories can also be found in the “Kaiju Tales” section of G-Fan magazine.
