''Welcome to '''Monster Hunter International'''.''
 
MHI is a contemporary fantasy/horror/GunPorn[[Gun Porn]] novel written by Larry Correia about a group of professional monster hunters. Correia's stated goal was to combine [[B-Movie]] monster tropes, but have the characters not be complete idiots. 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. [[Grenade Launcher|Grenade launchers]]? Check. [[Sawed-Off Shotgun|Fully-automatic shotgun]]? Check. [[More Dakka|Claymore mines]]? Check.
 
MHI 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.
