Jeane: I'd be happy just to visit Dublin...crime bookshop or no!
I've read Red Dragon, Silence, and Hannibal. I also read Harris' Black Sunday...which is more of a political thriller I guess?But yeah..I'd say Connolly's thrillers are as dark and savage as Harris'...if not more so.
Every Dead Thing is the first in Connolly's thriller series. I'd put it in the same category as Silence of the Lambs thematically speaking.Becky: Nocturnes and The Book of Lost Things are also very good!
Movies are a little easier to categorize...for me anyway. I've read quite a few books I'd put in the "thriller" or "psychological thriller" category, but they aren't really marketed as such.
Hmmmm. Well, I guess I prefer psychological thrillers then.
Can someone come up with a good definition of psychological thrillers vs. just plain ol' thrillers or mysteries? I've always been confused on what differentiates them.
I was invited personally.*Sticks out tongue*
Are there any other John Connolly fans here? He writes thrillers that are perhaps darker than most, but I really enjoy them. I have most of his Charlie "Bird" Parker books. I'm reading them in chronological order and they're starting to veer slightly towards the supernatural. Slightly.I also love Joe R. Lansdale's Leonard Pine and Hap Collins books: Mucho Mojo, Rumble Tumble, Bad Chili, etc.
Please give me some money. <-----Spam.Don't worry, Becky. I wasn't "officially" invited either. Hope I'm not crashing the party.
I don't make it a habit of picking up books just because they're thrillers/mysteries, but I've read some good ones in my day. I'll be learning here more than anything.
