How to use "Thriller" in context?
The thriller genre has been around since the 1800s, when it was known as the "sensation novel." Thrillers are usually focused on the suspense of the plot, the tension between the characters, and the excitement of the climax. They can be about anything from murder to the fear of heights, and they have been enormously popular over the years.
Some of the most famous thrillers include Agatha Christie's mystery stories, Alfred Hitchcock's suspense films, and Stephen King's horror novels. Thrillers are often plot-driven and involve unexpected turns, making them both exciting and suspenseful to read.
