[Chie |]

Michael Crichton's

[Allyson]

The Butterfly Garden

[Casey]

If you want a short horror with '80's B-Grade movie vibes, 'Feast of the Swamp Goblin' by Lewis Stone looks like fun.

Other than that I have 'Holly Horror' by Michelle Jabes Corpora and 'The Last Girls Standing' by Jennifer Dugan waiting on my TBR for the next month or so...

[Jennn]

I nominate Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery - witchy yes but also creatures. Google Slewfoot creatures for proof (and really cool creepy creature art). These photos are in the middle the book (which I have seen but not read).

I tend to think of creature features in books as involving animals, either real or imaginary, doing scary things.
Zombies are, or were, humans.

[Nickronomicon]

How about Stinger ?

I need to catch up on my McCammon, and there's a series based off of it coming out next year: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...

Looks like a very scary book but I wouldn't consider an alien story to be a creature feature.
Feel free to nominate something else.

Edgewise

Misfits

Ocean Grave
