It’s October, so of course it’s time for the scary and the thrilling. And what have we here? A piece by John Scalzi, sci-fi author extraordinaire, on some of his favorite tales.
Best Sci-Fi Books With Monsters and Other Creature Features
Monsters are in the DNA of science fiction. Right from the beginning, they have shambled forth to represent the folly of scientists, the terror of the outsider and the sneaking suspicion that the actual monsters might not be who you thought they were. Without these creatures, science fiction would be much less interesting — and a hell of a lot less metaphorical. These are some of the best monster books, from the birth of the genre to one of its newest entries.
If you’re the sort of person who likes the scary stuff, enjoy!
