City Kaiju
Mark Rapacz, author
City Kaiju is being destroyed. It’s being rebuilt. It’s being destroyed again by giant-ass and not-so-giant-ass beasts. It’s being protected by bionic commados, who are, well, getting OK at not becoming a red mess of gruel on your city streets. That’s a good thing! Right? You are a poor burnout bike messenger, trying to survive, confused by it all. Feeling dumb and lost and alone, like, existentially, mostly because your roommate tells you daily that you are “dumb and lost and alone.” You have PTSD, but you all got PTSD. It’s just a thing. You all expect to die in the green flames of a plasma burst. Not a good thing! It hurts. But you come together on a fateful night, a night in which none of you believe you have a demon’s chance at the Pearly Gates. There’s something special about this night. Perhaps it’s the moon? And who is this Evil Bill? Goddamn, you hate this place.
Reviews
Rapacz (Ficstructor) creates an energetic romp through a gritty, nightmarish dystopia, the origins of which are deliberately left obscure. Bram is a bike messenger who must deliver a mysterious package to a mysterious client. This task brings him inexorably closer to the weirdness that is at the heart of City Kaiju. Meanwhile, his ragtag group of friends is being hunted by a peculiar creature that goes by the name of Evil Bill. The nature of the city unfolds in a whirlwind of terror and gore, vivid and often stark. Rapacz’s writing recalls Lovecraft, with plenty of visceral horror and demonic creatures. His work has an immediate and gripping rawness, blended with dry wit; both are refreshing in the horror genre. Unfortunate spelling and grammar mistakes suggest that a good editor could have made this tremendously entertaining tale even better. (BookLife)
