Strange Highways by Dean Koontz, not exactly typical sci-fi but there are stories in the collection about time travel, aliens that take over human hosts like Body Snatchers, and genetically engineered super-intelligent rats that want to kill humanity. Koontz began his early career as a sci-fi writer and didn't find much success, until he steered into the horror genre later. It shines through fairly often in some of his stories, when the aliens or science experiment monsters show up.
