Hello, I've only really started reading as a hobby in the past few months. My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to read the Jurassic Park books by Michael Crichton. I enjoyed them a lot and wanted to read more books featuring 'creatures' or 'monsters'. But I don't know any good authors or series of where to start or look. I've just finished reading through the main Witcher series (Blood of Elves through to Lady of the Lake), and I've picked up Metro 2033 since I'm familair with the games.
I'm not really sure where else to look after Metro 2033. I don't mind what setting book is in (fantasy, modern day, sci-fi, etc..) or what kind of monster or creature the book features. I'm not really fond of anything 'human' though. So things like zombies or "the monster was just an evil human" aren't what I'm after. I'm also not really looking for anything that focuses on psychological horror too much. Just a story of people trying to face off and survive against something inhuman, otherworldly, monstrous or beastly.
As I said, I really don't know where I'd start looking, so any reccomendations at all would be a great help.
