Thrillers
The Moonstone
- Author name: Wilkie Collins
- Date published: 1868
Wilkie
Collins established another genre, the detective novel, with his 1968 work “The Moonstone.” A tale
of romance, theft, and murder, the story centers around the disappearance of an
enormous diamond. While maybe not a put-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller,
“The Moonstone” certainly earns its spot on the list, as it paved the way for
every other detective novel ever written.

Best Thriller
The Silence of the Lambs
- Author name: Thomas Harris
- Date published: 1988
Popular from the jump, by 1999, more than a
decade after it was published, Thomas Harris’ disturbing psychological thriller
“The Silence of the Lambs” had sold more than 10 million copies. The novel follows Clarice Starling, a young
FBI agent who forms a relationship with an imprisoned cannibalistic serial
killer, Hannibal Lecter, in an effort to catch another active killer, dubbed
Buffalo Bill. To catch Buffalo Bill, Starling must dive into the dark mind of
not one, but two, of the evilest criminals the world has ever seen.

Fight Club
Chuck
Palahnuik’s most widely read book, “Fight Club” is about an unnamed, insomniac
narrator and the mysterious Tyler Durden who helps him establish the eponymous
fight club. Beyond knowing the first rule of fight club—“you don’t talk about
fight club”—this is a book you’re better off knowing very little about before
diving into it. Just trust the nearly 500,000 reviewers on Goodreads, and read
the novel first before indulging in the Brad Pitt movie version.
