New Psychological Thrillers Available Online

By Jocelyn Davidson


For those who love novels revealing more about the human mind and emotional instability, there are many books online to satisfy their needs. New psychological thrillers are being released daily with plot twists, disturbing characters and strange settings. Readers will be able to find all the books written by their favorite authors and many more.

It is one thing to know what characters look like, speak like and how they act but it is quite another thing to understand how they think. This is where a thriller like this is different from any other. The narrative style is often stream of consciousness or first person, plunging the reader right in to the minds of the the antagonists and protagonists.

Thrillers often focus on terrorist plots, bombings, gangs and contain all sorts of high tension action scenes. Those dealing with psychology deal with a very different arena, that of the human mind. This is closer to home and focuses on relationships where one is most vulnerable. The relationship between men and women is often a focus. For example, a wife may discover the true nature of the man she has married. It is this emotional tension that is the engine of the novel.

What makes for a really good read is when not only does a protagonist not know who to believe or trust but the reader does not know either. Readers are taken on a journey with the protagonist, finding out horrifying new details as the plot unfolds until the whole truth is finally revealed. A novel that provides mystery, tension and plot twists will keep readers guessing right to the climax.

These novels do not allow the reader to make such a clear distinction between good and bad. The good characters often have flaws and the reader may even have some sympathy for the antagonists due to being exposed to their thoughts and understanding something of what made them who they are. Authors often play with the mind of readers as well, keeping the mystery going and keeping them trying to figure out what is going to happen.

In such a novel, the enemy is not just physical. This means it is not enough for a person to have physical strength to cope. They have to have mental stamina to endure the mind games like manipulation and deception. It is only this mental strength that helps them survive and win the battle.

Readers tend to have a fascination with the darker sides of human nature. Perhaps it helps them to play out their own uncertainties and fears. Whatever the reason, the popularity of this genre is unquestionable. The human mind is so complex and this provides plenty of material for authors to explore.

Websites selling such novels give readers a wide selection to choose from. When making a choice, suggestions may be given based on what has already been read. It is helpful to read reviews and participation in online forums or discussion groups can also help with discovery of what others have enjoyed reading. Best seller and top pick lists also show what novels are most popular with other readers.
