    S Squad series.
    Cryptids all types
    Snakehead fish – equivalent to the films Snakehead Swamp/ Snakehead Terror (cheesy but fun).

    1. “Wearing the Cape” Wholesome *realistic* Superhero Stories. There are like eight books so good for a while and with great quality.

      “Phantastes” by George Macdonald, This man is basically the Grandfather of Science Fiction. If Mary Shelly gave Science Fiction its body George gave it its soul.

    2. You might like the Lovecraft universe spin off of Brian Lumley’s Titus Crow series, if you’re into cosmic horror.

      Regarding cryptids, there’s an unusual type of monster in The Old Soldier and the Monsters of Mount Snyder by Rick Askew. However, it’s more of a straight sci fi action-adventure, than a horror jump scare story (though there’s definitely some horrible stuff happens in it).

      Another monster story is The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes; only it’s monsters on an alien planet, encountered by the first colonists (so somewhat like the early Aliens films, I guess). And if you like it, there’s a sequel.
