When we speak of psychology and thrillers, the first one that comes to mind would be "Silence of the Lambs". A true classic. But if you want the one that left me scared for weeks? "American Psycho". That one while I would never watch it again or probably recommend it to anyone, it was twisted. For a moment while watching it, it makes you think, "Could this be someone I could become?". Then when you start seeing heads in freezers, you really really hope not. By the end of the movie, you know you could never be that sick, but you worry if anyone else around you seems normal, but underneath that mask is a trail of blood following them. And that is what a good thriller does. Even a sick twisted one like "American Psycho".

Just FYI, I tweeted, google+, facebook posted, and followed you on Twitter. I want this book.

What an exciting post. I LOVE Dan Wells also, his I am not a Serial Killer trilogy was fantastic. I just finished Hollow City, a total mess with your head but I won't tell you what I think other than I wasn't a fan like the trilogy, can't wait for your review.

I work daily on my patience also but having a 5 year old totally makes me have more than I ever did, lol.

Enjoy it.

psychological thriller is my very favourite, Silence of the Lambs both book and movie and The Manufactured Identity by Heath Sommer are favourites of mine.

No entry, just responding :-)

Me! Meeeee! I retweeted, blogged, posted my blog to G+, and facebooked, and I follow you on twitter, here, and facebook.

Also, I totally deserve to win. I do. Seriously.

The thriller that for me was one of the best was se7en largely because of the great performance by Kevin Spacey.

My favorite was Kiss The Girls!

I really like Dexter, then I saw the comment above, and the Alex Cross novels are a good choice too -- Kiss the girls was awesome. I'm a GFC follower...Twitter too...

I've only read a few so far, but I've really enjoyed the Lincoln Rhymes thrillers. I was just thinking today I should try to download one since I can't get my LDS books yet.

Um, I follow your blog, twitter, like your FB page and just generally like you a lot. Plus I've never won a giveaway from you.

Before y'all butter me up too much, I should remind you that I choose winners using random.org. That means, I put everyone's name in a list, then have the website choose a random number on the list. I make the process as fair and random as I can.

Thanks for telling me how much you love me, though. It's making me smile :)

I also would vote for Kiss the Girls (book), or Mr. Brooks (movie). And I really do love Dan Wells' books!

I haven't read as many psychological thrillers as I would probably have liked to, but I think my favorite so far is the Hannibal Lecter series. Among those, I'd say Hannibal itself is probably my favorite.

Thanks for all the recommendations, guys! Keep them coming.

I'm not a huge James Patterson fan, but it looks like I need to give KISS THE GIRLS a try. And, you know, I've seen Silence of the Lambs (which scared the crap out of me, BTW), but I've never read any of the Hannibal Lechter books. I need to. As for the movie Se7en—I saw it in college and man, talk about disturbing. Yikes!

Oh, and I'm about halfway through THE HOLLOW CITY now. I'm really enjoying it, even more than the John Cleaver series. I found the Cleaver books much, much more unsettling than this one. So, we'll see what my verdict is in the end ...

Honestly the last thriller I remember reading and really enjoying was Dan Wells' first book: I Am Not a Serial Killer. It's still one of my favorites.

I have: followed you on Twitter, like the FB page, tweeted the contest, FB posted the contest and blogged about it (davidesmalehill.blogspot.com/)

I love any Alex Cross novels. Also, Room by Emily Donoghue was good!

I follow your blog and like you on Facebook. :-)

OK so I would love to win this book. I just watched a thriller called "Dream House" with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz (sp?) it was very suspenseful.

I retweeted and will put it on facebook also. (:

Great Book. One of the fastest page turners I've ever read. Unreliable narrators usually infuriate me but this is truly something else.

Borrowed it from a friend but am willing to fight for a physical copy.

I love Dan Well's John Cleaver series. fantastic book.

Shirley Jackson's "The House Next Door" is a psychological one with a twist.
Please enter me in your draw.

Hi Susan,

I follow you w/ GFC, Twitter, & FB. I also tweeted. :)

I loved Dan's I Am Not a Serial Killer series, so I'm excited for Hollow City.

Thanks!

Hiya! I think my favorite current thriller-ish-like book is Unwind... but maybe it isn't a thriller, its probably more dystopian... eh. Its good no matter how you look at it.

I am a follower on GFC and Facebook. :)
