Oh, I love Dostoevsky! Crime and Punishment and Demons are two of my favorite books.
The monsters come out at night and hide themselves in shadows and mist. According to my world’s lore, they devour everything and leave worlds behind them in a state of darkness and decay. There may also be some other kinds of creatures later on… 😉
For nineteenth and twentieth century British works…Lewis and Tolkien, of course! I also love Agatha Christie, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse…I did enjoy A Tale of Two Cities and Jane Eyre. For nineteenth and twentieth century Russian works, Dostoevsky is my favorite. Crime and Punishment and Demons are amazing. I recently read Anna Karenina (Tolstoy). Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is another favorite of mine as well–I’ve read some of his fiction and volume one of The Gulag Archipelago. I love the atmosphere and depth of character in classics! I have never read Ayn Rand, but have heard comments about her work similar to yours.

Lewis and Tolkien are my given staples. Love those guys!
Any particular American classic authors you like (excluding modern writers).
(I am a big Frank Peretti and Dean Koontz fan, by the way. Also enjoy Terry Brooks!)
