I think you can certainly have a horror VN without the monsters. Really, in order to be frightening, all a VN needs to have is something that can hurt you or those you care about.

Re: Horror visual novels?
Do ancient curse or some pyscho serial killer count as monsters?
Dark Water tells a story about a cursed water that makes people hallucinates (and a very terrible one that could really kill you). No monster in it but it still a horror.

Re: Horror visual novels?
Humans and monsters are different, but have the same brutality.
Hmm... Maybe some psychologist horror, like someone who is afraid to everyone near him, feeling shock, or has a phobia towards something...

Re: Horror visual novels?
Divi-Dead is still one of my all time favorite games. There were no 'monsters', per-se, but several of the characters were... not entirely human. They LOOKED human, but they had abilities above and beyond.
Yeah, the translation was crap, but it was actually a pretty good game.
