The Special Traits Of Supernatural Thriller Books

By Donna Gibson


Whether you are a reader, a writer, or both, different genres of books have certain characteristics that give you an idea of what to expect. Supernatural thriller books combine a couple of genres to define a genre that has strong supporters that demand quality reading. Many authors in this genre command a loyal following.

As a thriller, these books give a feeling of suspense and excitement. There is also an element of anxiety. As a supernatural genre, special plot aspects lead the reader to believe in the contradictions in expectations of the natural world. It is a speculative genre, and requires a certain amount of creativeness to suspend one's disbelief in the natural things.

Since early times, storytelling has provided a means of gaining attention for the storyteller and an interest in an amazing tale to those listening. These tales serve to help them understand the world beyond their own senses. The thriller genre has helped resolve the fears and provide excitement in discovering things strange and unexplained. This us true whether it is oral or written in delivery method.

With this genre, there is a conflict between two main characters, one of which has a special power. The earliest stories are great examples, those such as in the early tale when a heroic character battles supernatural powers and comes out on top. Combining this and the thriller kept listeners interested in the saga when it was still only an oral tale.

Early tales had elements of the supernatural for reader enjoyment, involving the reader in the ongoing tale. There was the story of man battling the supernatural, with man being the winner frequently. It involved ghosts, witches, and curses to keep the reader involved and excited when reading, motivating the reader to follow the character and gaining insight into their very actions.

Gothic tales were a natural progression from the early stories. This resulted in tales such as that Frankenstein, as well as the Henry James and Edgar Allen Poe tales. This often left the reader to wonder if the character was insane, or if they were under the power of a dark force. This often led to the fear of it happening to them. This made the tale more appealing.

This genre later evolved into tales involving shape-shifters and other unnatural characters. The tales became stories of characters that made a great visual image, leading to their being useful for adaptation for television and screen. The viewer has to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the story. But, directors are knowledgeable about how much the viewer can handle and still believe in the story. They play upon that willingness to suspend disbelief to tell a somewhat believable tale to thrill and excite the viewer.

A large number of authors have adopted this genre, but they don't replace the old authors. Many people enjoy those old tales today, even while enjoying newer authors. Writing instructors suggest studying those old tales to gain knowledge of the techniques used by them. It is a very difficult genre to write, but is well enjoyed by readers. Good writers in the genre never fail to direct the reader in suspending their disbelief.
