Well, 'Beastly' by Alex Flinn is a really good creature novel. It's a modern retelling of 'Beauty and the Beast' where the beast is a teen boy who has been cursed. It shows a different side of the 'creature' concept. Then there's 'The Shape of Water' which was also made into a movie. It has a unique take on a relationship between a human and a strange aquatic creature. Also, 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' by H.G. Wells is a classic. It deals with the idea of creating human - like creatures through grotesque experiments.
Some of the top best creature novels include 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien. While not as obvious as some, the dragons, trolls, and other creatures in Middle - earth add so much to the story. 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams is also great. The rabbits in this novel are the main 'creatures' and their society, language, and struggles are beautifully portrayed. 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman has a boy raised by ghosts and other supernatural creatures in a graveyard, which makes for a really interesting and spooky read.
