ller?

The single greatest characteristic of a thriller

is the obvious one. It "thrills" as one reads it.

The plots are scary, the characters are at

great risk A story that starts with a serious problem, a

protagonist (our hero) who tries to solve the

problem only to find that it gets worse and

worse and worse. The plot rises to a dramatic

confrontation with the antagonist (bad guy),

usually on the bad guy’s territory, and ends

with a short denouement (wrapup).

Thrillers can be divided into countless

categories; i.e., action thrillers, psychological

thrillers, military thrillers, spy thrillers, sci-fi

thrillers, romantic thrillers, etc.

Hard as they are to define, thrillers are easy

to recognize. If you can’t put it down, if it has

you biting your nails and staying up late at

night, double-checking that the windows are

locked and worrying and fretting about

whether the characters are going to survive,

chances are it is a thriller
