I’m not recommending them because, in all this time of monster books and films, a common element has come clear: most of these works are absolutely terrible. I mention these works to establish that I know what I’m talking about here, rather than as recommendations. I’ve even had the privilege of enjoying a whole bunch of works which just jammed two words together to create the title, like Sharknado, Sharktopus, and Piranhaconda. The first word of the title allows more variation, including “ snow“, “ swamp“, “ Jurassic“, and “ raging“. I have watched, due to the prominence of sharks as the antagonist, countless films with a two word title in which the second word is “shark” (or, to be fair, “sharks”). I have thrilled to tales of liopleurodons, Humboldt squid, sabre-tooth tigers and titanoboas. In so far as “monster attacks group of people” is a genre, it’s one of my preferred genres. I’ve read a lot of books, and watched a lot of films, about monsters.
