Vampires. Mermaids. Wizards. It seems like every supernatural creature has its day in the book world, and right now, monsters are all anyone can talk about! Whether it’s Paru Itagaki’s BEASTARS or the interspecies romance novels taking over BookTok, the monster-loving trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you’re in a monstrously spooky mood, keep scrolling, because you can build a team of monsters to find your next horror read right here.
Even with the recent reboots to the Godzilla and Universal Monsters franchises, a lot of folks out there still seem to think that monsters aren’t scary or cool. Maybe that’s because we’ve grown up in a post–Lon Chaney world, so we tend to collectively think that all monsters are about as scary as the “Monster Mash.” If you’re in this camp, then allow me to make this argument: If monsters weren’t scary, and if monsters weren’t cool, then Guillermo del Toro would be out of a job.
Still not convinced? Well, build a superpowered team of monsters in the quiz below, and I’ll give you a book recommendation that will give you the creepy crawlies. Once you’re done, keep scrolling to find Amazon links for all the books mentioned in the quiz!
