There's also 'Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero'. It's set in the world of the giant monsters and mechs. It shows different perspectives of people dealing with the threat of these colossal beasts. It has a great blend of action and horror as the characters struggle to survive against the powerful kaiju.
Another great one is 'The Mist' by Stephen King. Although not a traditional 'giant monster' in the sense of a huge beast, the otherworldly creatures in the mist are terrifying. King's masterful storytelling and the sense of claustrophobia add to the horror. The way the characters face the unknown and the seemingly unbeatable creatures makes it a classic in horror novels related to menacing entities.
The Godzilla stories also fall into this category to some extent. Godzilla is a gigantic, prehistoric - like monster. The various movies and related stories about Godzilla often deal with humanity's struggle against this huge, powerful being. There are elements of destruction, survival, and an underlying fascination with the power and mystery of such a giant monster. It has been a long - standing and popular series that explores different aspects of the 'giant monster' concept.
There's also 'King Kong: The Great Ape'. This graphic novel delves into the story of King Kong. It has great art that showcases Kong's power and the primitive world he inhabits. It's a must - read for fans of giant monster stories. It not only shows Kong's battles but also explores his relationship with the humans in the story in an interesting way.
'Monstress' is a must - read. It features a complex world where humans and monsters co - exist in a sort of uneasy truce. The main character is half - human, half - monster, and the story delves deep into themes of power, identity, and prejudice. The art is absolutely stunning, with detailed illustrations of the various monsters.
One great monster romance novel is 'A Deal with the Elf King' by Elise Kova. It has elements of a different - world romance where the male lead has some 'monster - like' qualities in the sense of his otherworldly and powerful nature. Another is 'Beauty and the Beast' - inspired ones, like 'Heart's Blood' by Juliet Marillier, which features a complex relationship between a human and a somewhat 'beastly' character.

Communication is key. If in the fanfiction there is a way for the human and the monster to communicate, either through telepathy or some other means, they can start to understand each other's motives and desires. For instance, the monster might be lonely and the human might be curious, and this can form the basis of a relationship.

One of the best horror novels is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It's set in an isolated hotel with a dark past.

It introduced the world to the iconic vampire Count Dracula, with its spooky castles and the horror of the undead preying on the living. Also, 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is a classic horror novel that explores the consequences of playing God by creating life.
