Thriller is a genre of literature. Thrillers are dark, engrossing, and suspenseful plot-driven stories. They very seldom include comedic elements. Any novel can generate excitement, suspense, interest, and exhilaration, but because these are the primary goals of the thriller genre, thriller writers have laser-focused expertise in keeping a reader interested.

The sub-genres of thriller writing include: 

  • Psychological thriller 
  • Action thriller 
  • Crime thriller 
  • Political thriller 
  • Mystery thriller 
  • Spy thriller 
  • Legal thriller
  • Science fiction thriller

“Thriller” is a modern term, but thrillers have existed throughout history. The first thrillers were works of literature including Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (725 BCE), German academics’ the Brothers Grimm’s Little Red Writing Hood (1967), and French Writer Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo (1844).
