Thriller books are the ultimate adrenaline rush in literary form, blending suspense, mystery, and often a touch of danger to keep readers hooked. Did you know the thriller genre dates back centuries, with roots in Gothic literature like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? Modern thrillers have evolved to include subgenres like psychological thrillers (Gone Girl), legal thrillers (The Firm), and even techno-thrillers (The Hunt for Red October). Fun fact: the term "page-turner" originated in the early 1900s and is most often associated with thrillers because of their fast-paced plots and cliffhanger chapter endings. These stories not only entertain but also engage your brain, activating the same areas as solving real-life puzzles.
