Ah, creature features. Stephen King has a few fun ones tucked into in short story anthologies. Nightmares and Dreamscapes comes to mind. The Troop is sort of creature-y. Not really b-movie, but close. For that 'childhood summer of fighting monsters' feel, there's also Summer of Night.
I know we're in horror lit, but you should also check out Slither, Feast, and The Bay.
