A Night In The Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny is classic Universal movie monsters trying to either prevent or complete a magic ritual that changes the world somehow. I’m reluctant to go into detail, because the plot is driven in part by the characters trying to figure out exactly what everyone else is actually trying to do.

*Hell Train* by Christopher Fowler seems very fitting here. For other pulp/b-horror, I recommend *The Drive In* by Joe R. Lansdale, *Garden of Evil* by Edmund Plante, *Teacher’s Pet* by Andrew Neiderman, *The Roo* by Alan Baxter, *Night of the Crabs* by Guy N. Smith, *Mirror* by Graham Masterton, *Gila!* by Les Simons, *Slugs* by Shaun Hutson, *The Voice of the Clown* by Brenda Brown Canary, *Slime* by William Essex, and *Snow Man* by Norman Bogner.

There’s a whole series of ‘Hammer’ books, released in the 2000s. The aim is to capture the vibe of Hammer movies. The only one I’ve read is *Breakfast with the Borgias* by DBC Pierre and it captures the vibe perfectly.
