Thriller/Suspense Genre In Depth

Sub-genres of Thriller/suspense are similar to action/adventure in that they tend to focus on events and moving things along.  But where Action/adventure is focused more on fun/mystery, Thriller/Suspense is focused more on fear/horror. There tends to be a mystery element as well. Tends to have deeper engagement with the character to make you care if they survive.

Action/Adventure Genre In Depth

We are starting a new feature to do deeper dives into the most read stories in each sub-genre of our primary genres.
