The first reviews for Tall People are in—TY GORGO!

My latest release, Tall People, is all about the social lives of giant monsters living in New York City. They want the same things we do: love, friendship, and careers they can tolerate.

It’s packed tight with references to your favorite #kaiju while also exploring what it’s like living as a millennial in the American 2020s. Available on amaz0n and wherever books are sold.

... Read moreIn 'Tall People', readers embark on a quirky journey through the lens of towering kaiju living among humans. The story features Seiryu Tokinage, a two-hundred-foot-tall lizard trying to fit into New York's vibrant landscape while navigating personal struggles that resonate with modern millennial experiences. This innovative tale combines fantastical elements with relatable themes, offering an intimate glimpse into the emotional lives of its giant characters. Drawing inspiration from beloved kaiju lore, the book elevates these creatures beyond typical monster narratives, emphasizing their desires and vulnerabilities. Much like the iconic characters of King Kong and Godzilla, the protagonists in 'Tall People' grapple with society’s perceptions and their self-identity, exploring what it truly means to find one's place in a world that often overlooks their challenges. With its rich storytelling and insightful character development, this book is a must-read for those who appreciate the intricacies of friendship and personal growth within extraordinary settings. The humor and heart woven throughout the book will appeal to readers seeking both entertainment and depth. The author, Evan Witmer, captures this unique blend brilliantly, ensuring that 'Tall People' is not just a kaiju story but a touching reflection on the trials of modern living. Perfect for fans of slice-of-life anime and kaiju culture, this captivating book stands out in contemporary literature, making it a significant addition to any reading list.

a princess with a scheduling issue between worlds
“Princess Nevermore” sounds like a title that does not believe in undoing things, and everything on the cover is glowing just enough to be concerning this quietly turns into “we thought this was fine” → “it is not fine,” which makes sense, because magic does not eliminate responsibility this
