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.
Lovecraft's Monsters is a short story collection of fan fiction for Lovecraft's world. I enjoyed most of them.
Clockwork Elf by Alfred Haus. It's a horror adventure mix set in Victorian England while an elf and an engineer hunt monsters.
