Jason Cavallaro Presents: My Favorite Monster Books

It's Monster Month here at Dead Head Reviews, and what better way to celebrate than spending more money on books?

I've compiled a list of my favorite monster books here, but I've skipped the ones that you've already heard of (or read already): Dracula, I am Legend, Jaws, The Rising, The Wolf's Hour, Interview with the Vampire, Frankenstein, etc..

This is in no way a comprehensive list. Hurricane Rita drowned all of my books in 2005, so it's difficult for me to even formulate a list like this without having those ten years’ worth of books to refer back to. Nevertheless, I hope I can point you to at least one monster novel that you weren't aware of and could possibly enjoy! Let’s get started.

Book Review: The Raven by Jonathan Janz

I attended a Janz reading at the Scares That Care Con, where he read a chapter from a forthcoming novel.  His intense and theatrical reading was brilliant and I couldn't wait to read the book.  Well, THIS is that book.  I was even lucky enough to get it early (thanks Flame Tree!).  I would really love to tell you the premise of this one (it's killer) but I pride myself on my non-spoiler reviews, so I won't.  Put it this way.  If you're a fan of his work, you will see traces of Wolfland and Savage Species here, via some really intense action sequences.  This was the strength of the novel.

Book Review: The Raven by Jonathan Janz

Despite owning a legitimate stack of Jonathan Janz novels, I had yet to read him prior to The Raven (with the exception of an old short story he did early on in his career). This one was receiving a lot of early buzz, which led me to requesting an ARC for review before they were even ready. As the months passed, more excitement built around the novel, and now I know why - Janz has created a wonderfully diverse (yet familiar) world of monsters here. Its post-apocalyptic setting not only screams dark fantasy, it provides a vivid backdrop that (surprisingly) brought to mind The Lord of the Rings.
