Welcome to the World of Gigarrah


After starting The Ember Lights Project the flare of what was to begin from the start of all this has returned and that is making stories about giant monsters, this love for colossal radiation infused creatures began a long time ago.

Apart from my love of dinosaurs my other big obsession is giant monster movies, my love for them began when on certain Sunday mornings would have the old classic b-movies from the 1950s and I would sit there with my dad and I would be absolutely captivated watching them one in particular was the movie The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, a film about a colossal species of unknown dinosaur that goes on the rampage through New York city this then became one of my favourite movies. Many years later I was introduced once again by my dad to another group of movies which were centred on an icon in cinema history and that was the Godzilla franchise, as a kid I never got a chance to watch the 1954 original I would later on in my late teens but my first dip into the world of Godzilla and that was Ebirah Horror of the Deep and these movies have been in my life ever since, now finally I’m taking the chance of writing my own stories.

Whilst writing Gigarrah there was hinting throughout the story that the world that Akira lives in was steeped in history and events relating to other different types of Kaiju around the world, that was something that I wanted to explore further and expand the mythologies and secrets of this monster based world and other worlds too. So let’s rumble the skyline and shake the ground and walk in the footsteps of titans, Toho have their King of the Monsters now you shall witness mine.

Carter turned the corner down one of the hallways quickly his grip was firm the rifle, the weapon was a Lee-Enfield bolt-action, short magazine, repeating rifle and was Carter’s favourite he used it on the expedition, Carter although in his mid-40s he was still well built which was needed for hunting game across the world and it was his skills why the museum had hired him. He looked over his shoulder and signalled to the two people behind him “It’s clear” he stepped out and they entered the main foyer and took up a hiding place amongst the glass cabinets near the large stuffed elephants that stood proud to welcome visitors when they arrived during the opening hours, Carter l

QUAKE (A Titan Story)

MFD Team Members - Natasha Reynolds: Biologist/Ecologist - Akhila Khatri: Military (Indian Armed Forces) Devarukhkar Favela Rurshan, India Stretching far across the area it was a sea of hand built homes and stalls, corrugated metal and dirt, the town was a massive community of those sadly unable to afford even the less finer luxuries but that still didn’t take away the spirit of the community, everyone was willing to help each other in need and they never felt any poorer for it. Natasha sat in the back of the red jeep as it wound its way through the dirt roads heading towards the favela, she looked at the survey data on her laptop over the past week the area had begun suffering from unusual seismic activity any unusual activity like this was something that the MFD was always eager to investigate in hope that no creatures were involved. Natasha swept the sweat from her brow and retied her hair back into a pony tail to help keep in from getting in her face despite the setting
