Look what I got in the mail yesterday! Originally released in Japan in 2023, I pre-ordered the Godzilla Minus One novel in English quite a while ago and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival.

This 196-page book is actually written by Godzilla Minus One writer/director Takashi Yamazaki himself, which I’ve honestly never heard of happening before. I’m sure there have been other directors who have written novel versions of their own films, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.


I’m really looking forward to diving into this and hopefully taking away richer characterizations of my favorite Godzilla characters, along with a deeper cultural understanding of what Yamazaki was trying to bring to the big screen with Godzilla Minus One.
How about you? Have you ordered your copy yet?
