THE END OF THE WORLD DIDN'T START WITH A BANG... It started with a bump, when 20 year old Will Carver and Aaron Smith hit a small unearthly creature with their car. Unbeknownst to them this was an alien refugee named Marugrah, who was separated from his Queen, Marudon, upon their arrival to earth. Marugrah desperately searches for her, with the help of Will and his friends, as a deadly threat approaches Earth. A TREAT THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO DESTROY ENTIRE PLANETS. Will they be able to reunite with the Queen in time to stop the imminent invasion of Earth? And if they do, can they stop the giant monsters that fall from the sky and attack the world's major cities? Is this the end of the world, or is this the... KAIJU EPOCH.

Once again, the many types of monsters from folklore, legend, and cinema et al. will be feared not only by the hapless human beings they routinely prey upon - but also of each other! Eleven different authors bring you short stories and a sprinkling of flash fiction featuring unfortunate people caught between two different monsters, with the latter creatures on a bloody collision course with each other for a climactic duel of the monsters! In each fear-fraught tale one of the two combatants will go down for the count. Which one will it be? More specifically, you will find out what happens when... A camping family and a forest ranger are caught between a deadly Bigfoot and a ravenous Killer Grizzly - who end up clashing in mortal combat to determine which is the true king of the forest; A Man-Made Monster stitched together by a scientist overcome with the usual madness clashes with the latter's assistant, a sentient Great Ape, in the most demented love story of the century; A Sea Serpent and a Kraken decide that even the vast ocean depths are not big enough for both of them; A dangerous Man-Beast is followed by an investigative reporter into the bayou... only for each to have a run-in with the deadly resident Swamp Monster; The dreaded Mr. Edward Hyde visits Paris only to find himself in the crosshairs of the fabled city's deadliest assassin - the Phantom of the Opera; A blood thirsty Velociraptor gets loose within the genetics facility that created it... only to cross fangs with an equally bloodthirsty Vampire; A powerful undead Lich finds himself challenged in an old cathedral by a host of flesh-craving Zombies; An Invisible Woman turned serial killer discovers that her latest targets have been stalked by a predator of a different sort - a man-eating Insectoid Alien; A man cursed to become a cannabalistic Wendigo finds himself and his family under siege by a rampaging Lizard Man; A voracious Werewolf takes refuge in a church... only to run afoul of the Gargoyle that prefers having no late night visitors; Stoner dude Bill Chan once again finds himself caught between two fearsome critters out of lumberjack folklore... only this time, the critters are a spiny Cactus Cat and an elusive Hidebehind. These creatures are here and ready to rumble for your nightmarish pleasure in the second volume of Duel of the Monsters!
