Why am I passionate about this?
I’ve always been intrigued by monsters. I grew up watching or reading anything that had a monster in it, much to the chagrin of my monster-hating mother. Over time, I grew bored with the same monsters in the same historical settings. It wasn’t until I discovered some of the books on this list that I found writers doing new, fun, and inventive things that reinvigorated my own love for them. I’m always going to be a monster junky, but I always hope to find authors that can bring these classic terrors into the modern world.
Seth's book list on classic monsters in modern settings
Why did Seth love this book?
I love the adrenaline-pumping action that blends seamlessly into the horror elements of this book. I read it in a single sitting because I could not put it down. Every page was filled with monsters, action, and suspense. I also love the core characters at the heart of this book.
All of them share different backgrounds but come together through a common thread. The humor in this book made me laugh out loud while reading it. I can’t stress enough just how fun it was to turn the page and see what happened next.
