Well, G-fans… this is it. The proverbial bread and butter of the Godzilla Novelization Project.
On this page, you’ll find the novels themselves, all laid out in an easy-to-navigate list and organized in the release order for their corresponding films. Every part of the list is broken down into three sections: the title of the book (pretty self-explanatory), a “Status” line that indicates the progress made in that novel’s writing process (those being NOT YET STARTED, IN PROGRESS, and COMPLETED), and a link to the book itself. Just scroll to find the book you want to read, give it a click, and you’ll be all set.
Happy reading!
(NOTE: Not every novelization has been started yet, so those sections – naturally – do not have links. Also, posted chapters will always, in one way or another, be a work in progress. The chapters in the novels below will very likely be changed and edited multiple times as the project continues. This could be as simple as fixing a typo or changing a word, or something more substantial like adding or subtracting entire paragraphs. When possible (or deemed significant enough by me to mention), I’ll update you on what was changed. This process will, hopefully, allow me to craft the best books I can over time. And make no mistake: this WILL take time, and lots of it. But I’m in for the long haul if you are!)

Wait… isn’t something missing?
Wondering where listings for the five (so far) Hollywood-produced Godzilla films are? Well, you won’t be seeing adaptations of those particular films from the GNP. Why? Simple: the work has already been done for me! Full, official novel adaptations already exist for the 1998 Tristar film and every entry in Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse, and more will surely be written for however many future films/sequels are produced here in the west. The focus of the GNP is to create English-language novelizations for the Godzilla films that have never received such novelizations, so while I’d love to write adaptations of the western entries in the series, they aren’t a priority at this time.
Instead, please support the amazing authors who’ve been adapting the American Godzilla films since 1998. These novelizations are all great reads, and are highly recommended!
You can read the official adaptations of:
–Godzilla (1998) by Stephen Molstad here
–Godzilla (2014) by Greg Cox here
–Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) by Greg Keyes here
–Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) by Greg Keyes here
–Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) by Greg Keyes here
