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.

The city twinkled with fire lights and the royal palace was bathed in ethereal moonlight as Re’hotpe was stood on the balcony of his chambers looking out of over Ahkhann, he gazed in wonder and amazement at the colossal pyramid that was being constructed, even incomplete it looked beautiful with the torches fires and the moon gave the pyramid a hazy like glow a monument worthy of a Pharaoh, he left his chambers walking slowly down the hallway lost in his thoughts as passing servants bowed to him, as Re’hotpe continued on his walk his stone mason appeared and approached him, the stone mason bowed when he stopped in front of the Pharaoh “My Lord” Re’hotpe smiled at the man “Ah just the ...

Dust off the cobwebs

Hey Firelight Wanderers   Just a bit of an update haven’t been in the mood to write at the moment with work, increase in rent and bills, and all the shit that’s a been happening in the world my mental health took a right kick in the nuts a few weeks ago. However I’ve taken some time to refresh myself avoid the doom scrolling on Twitter and finally dusted of the keyboard of my laptop and ready to get back to it.

THE EDGE

In 2234 a signal was received by deep space satellites and the data transmitted back to Earth, scientists at NASA managed to track the signal to its source, it was coming from outside the edge of the known universe from some form of intelligent life. With interstellar travel now possible travelling trillions of light year can be traversed in mere centuries and now interested in discovering the possibility of another life form or even a civilisation the world began a monumental task of building a ship that could survive the long journey to the edge And choosing the brave crew willing to venture into the unknown with the high likelihood of never returning… The Asgard moved through the vast expanse this was the beginning of the mission to reach the edge of the universe, the crew was going about making all the final checks before going into the cryo baths, when all the jobs were done the crew had assembled in the galley were they were all sat around the dining table, ...
