About

Giganotosaurus (the dinosaur) lived about ninety million years ago, and it was almost the largest carnivorous dinosaur. A little bigger than Tyrannosaurus, a little smaller than Spinosaurus.

GigaNotoSaurus (the webzine, edited by LaShawn M. Wanak) publishes one longish fantasy or science fiction story monthly. Longish meaning longer than a short story, and shorter than a novel.
