Random House is an American book publishing company, and the largest general-interest trade book publisher in the world due in part to its many imprints and subsidiaries. It is currently owned by the larger company Penguin Random House, which was formed from a merger between Random House and Penguin Group. Random House published several books in the late 1990s based on the Godzilla franchise. Prior to these, the company twice published adaptations of King Kong.
