I'm a huge fan of vamp lit. I used to read a lot vampire books but stopped reading them for awhile because they had gotten so trendy (coughtwilightcough). I don't think I've ever read anything with werewolves or zombies but have a few that I want to check out in this challenge. Off to see what books you've selected!

I've joined this challenge after realizing I've read books about vampires, werewolves, Grendel, and a gollum. I'm about halfway through another vampire book and will be reading a zombie novel next.

Good call on the golem.....I never even considered it/her a "monster".....but yes, absolutely. And The Golem and the Jinni is such an excellent book!

The other three have each read 4 of the required 6 books. I quite enjoyed A Taste of Blood Wine (vampire lit) but the other 3 books I've read were rather "meh." I have high expectations for the remaining two books - Fledgling by Octavia Butler (one of my favorite authors) and Sunshine by Robin McKinley (which won the Mythopoeic award). Has everyone else been enjoying their time with monsters?
