I’m a huge Stephen King fan and can recommend several of those. But if you’re looking for one that is a little less we’ll know, try The Elementals by Michael McDowell. Super scary!
Monster suggestions Relic by Preston and Child, early James Rollins, Deep Fathom is one, maybe Early Matthew Reilly, Natural Selection by Dave Freeman, the Shadow Killer by Matthew Scott Hanson, Fatalis by Jeff Robin, the Meg Series by Steve Alten, the first book title is Meg, Swarm by Frank something long that starts with an ‘S’…
The Mayfair witches by Anne Rice, pretty much anything by Jeremy Robinson, Future Remains by Robert Jack, primordia by Grieg Beck, also look at Douglas Preston’s individual novels. There’s more but I’ll have to look for some titles! Hope that helps.
Can’t beat the classics. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Very well written, very scary. And after reading it, try the 1963 movie with Julie Harris, which I think is still the scariest I’ve ever seen.
Jeremy Robinson
Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”
Monstrumologist was popular. It’s on my tbr list ?
True Haunting, Edwin F Becker. Scared the beejesus out of me.

The Terror by Dan Simmons
Justin Cronin’s The Passage series.

Stephen King is the master.
Relic by Preston and child

“The Historian” by Elizabeth Kostova
The Hollower by Mary SanGiovanni
Not to steal from the above post but..”.Frankenstien by Mary Shelley” fits the bill.

I think I have read most of these!!
@Lisha any you can add to this list? I’m looking for new ones!

@Lisha thanks! Lincoln Child’s individual titles too!
Yes. But they aren’t all monster based. I’ve read his as well
@Lisha I think more of his stand alone are monster based than Preston’s…

I agree.
The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn, The Troop by Nick Cutter, Naomi’s Room by Jonathan Aycliffe, Endless Night by Richard Laymon.
Hell House by Richard Matheson. The Books of Blood Series by Clive Barker has some good, creepy stories if you like short stories
Heart shaped box by Joe Hill I really enjoyed it
Well, what do you know? I’d dismissed it as a sappy romance or “heartwarmer” based on the title, and never looked into it!
