1 English research Paper

2 How do Thriller-suspense Authors hook and hold readers? According to Jack King, the author of many thriller books, authors start the books off already placing the main character in a crisis (King). He also notes that early in the book they’re should be twists to keep the reader allured, and eventually a second twist added to keep the tension of the story and the reader further entertained (King). The plots are scary, the characters are at great risk and the novels are constructed in a manner that makes the reader really want to turn the page. Thomas Harris's SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, Ken Follett's THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE and Peter Benchley's JAWS are all classic thrillers. “Thriller press, the best new mysteries”

3 How do Thriller writers persuade their readers? Authors persuade their readers by stating a clear thesis. The author keeps the topic of the book throughout the book, but doesn’t focus on the topic, but also focusing on the detail and the story of the book ("Persuasive Writing | Write To Persuade.“)

4 What is the relationship between Thriller and truth?

5 Why do thriller readers tend to pick up a book of the same genre after reading one? “But it is asked of the writer of horror stories because it seems that there is something nasty about our love for horror stories, or boogies, ghosts and goblins, demons and devils”-Stephen King ("An Interview with Stephen King") The twists and suspense in a thriller book, keep the reader guessing and always wanting to know what happens around the corner. ("Mystery vs. Suspense Thriller Book Genres.“) “They provide us with a kind of excitement that we don’t find in our everyday lives.”-Lauren Flanagan (”Hollywood Thrillers, Overview”)

6 How do the literary elements affect the reader of a thriller book, and keep them hooked? The literary elements play a crucial part in the book, Setting, location, point of view, suspense, in depth detail, give the reader the feeling as if the protagonist is as a real person, in a certain situation.

7 What makes thriller books seem related to reality? Thriller books can take place in a real town, like Jeremiah's Lot in upstate Vermont (“An Interview with Stephen King”). And have some affect on the plot of the story, and maybe the characters involved. The author’s inspiration to make a realistic thriller can come from a television program, ideas in a newspaper, or an overheard conversation (“How to Write a Gripping Thriller: The Art of Writing a Suspense Novel.“)

8 Why do most books of the thriller genre turn into movies a few years later?

9 What makes thriller books stand out from the rest of the genres?

10 Why do thrillers allure readers? Thrillers tend to allure readers by the development of heroic characters and powerful villains, or antagonists ("Writer’s Digest - Thriller/Suspense”)
