To be clear, it doesn't bother me if the authors themselves are liberals, as long as the book/story doesn't have woke nonsense. In that sense, I guess older novels would be the best bet.
EDIT - Holy moly, thanks for all of the suggestions. I have my work cut out for me, looking into all these authors this summer.
Elementals, cold moon over Babylon, gilded needles- Micheal McDowell. Infected- Scott siegler. Watchers, Phantoms- dean koontz. Ghost story- Peter straub. Lesser dead- Christopher buehlman.
