Godzilla: The First 70 Years, is a narrative and visual history of Japan’s King of the Monsters, chronicling the triumphs, challenges, and meaning of seven decades of city-trashing, kaiju-smashing mayhem. Focusing exclusively on the Japanese productions from Toho Studios, from the original Godzilla (1954) to the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One (2023), the book is a tribute to Godzilla’s creators and costars—the filmmakers, special effects wizards, cast members, even the stuntmen inside the monster suit—and an appreciation of the behind-the-scenes artistry involved in bringing Godzilla to cinematic life, then and now. Scott Adlerberg is the author of five novels, including Graveyard Love, Jack Waters, and The Screaming Child . He has written many short stories and contributes pieces regularly to sites such as CrimeReads and Mystery Tribune . He was born in New York City and lives in Brooklyn.
