Today is release day for MM9 and the first day of our now traditional giveaway contest!

Yes, we usually do the giveaway before the book is released, but I was on vacation for most of last week. On the bright side, the essay is easy this time. MM9 stands for "monster magnitude 9"—think of what newscasts would be like if giant monster attacks were as common as earthquakes or hurricanes. The rating of nine is reserved for the largest of monsters. So, the contest!

What's your favorite giant monster, and why, in 200 words or less. The four answers we like best get a free book. And yes, we ship anywhere!
