Suspense Fiction Books: The Joys Of Imaginary Worlds Filled With Action And Adventure.
In many respects suspense fiction books are the ultimate choice for the book lover. Let’s be honest with ourselves: if you live somewhere out there in the suburbs in a three-bedroom house with a garden and a pet, your life might be wonderful but without excitement. You would go to work, come home, go to work again…. An endless cycle
Reading a captivating suspense story takes you right out of the humdrum of your daily existence to a world of high speed cars, lovely ladies and debonair heroes. It transfers you to an imaginary reality where the future of our world is always hanging in the balance and where betrayal and excitement waits around every corner.
One of the all-time favorites in this genre is the spy story. Now we can’t all be James Bonds, but it certainly does no harm to dream. The appeal of many of these stories partly lies in the exotic locations where the action takes place. You might never have traveled in your life, but through the eyes of your hero you can get to know far-off places like Lima or Shanghai, Honolulu or Cairo.
The detective novel is another evergreen. The suspense this type of tale can create is quite astounding. First there will be a party with all the rich and famous in attendance. Then there will be a murder. And out of the blue there will be this quirky old detective asking all the right questions to systematically eliminate the suspects until there are only a few left. The suspense will grow even thicker when you realize the butler also had a motive….
The thriller is not for everyone. This very special type of suspense story provides adrenalin rushes and sleepless nights unlimited. Often there will be a deserted old ghost house. Somewhere nearby will be a lake. And on the way to the lake will be dark, misty moors where unimaginable creatures lurk at night and watch the inhabitants of the house, waiting for the right moment. If suspense is what you want, the really good suspense writers will scare the wits out of you.
The alien invader is another niche in the suspense story genre. In these books creatures from outer space will visit earth with only one intention: to destroy our civilization and steal our natural resources. To make things really interesting, they very often look exactly like us, making it hard to know who is your friend and who is your enemy. As you can well imagine, this provides for many suspenseful moments.
Suspense fiction books have been around for quite a long time. And they’ve come to stay. The reason probably is that they fulfill a very real need for many of us: the need to experience excitement, fear and an adrenalin rush without having to leave the safety of our armchairs.
