The first book was originally self-published in 2008, but high sales through word-of-mouth advertising, especially on gun-related forums, attracted the attention of Baen Books, which picked up the series. Grenade launchers? Fully-automatic shotgun? Claymore mines? Yes, yes, and yes. Consequently, in order to still present a threat, the monsters are much more powerful than in most B-movies, and the Hunters respond in kind.

Correia's stated goal was to combine B-Movie monster tropes, but have the characters not be complete idiots.

Monster Hunter International is a contemporary Urban Fantasy/ Action Horror/ Gun Porn novel written by Larry Correia about a group of professional monster hunters.
