I was alerted to this recently published list just tonight! NPR’s Top 100 Killer Thrillers is a “reader’s choice” list of the top 100 thrillers, compiled by NPR. It’s got all kinds of unexpected titles on it. There’s “The Shining”, and also “The Hunger Games”… Agatha Christie and also Neal Stephenson. As Maureen Corrigan, who served on the advisory panel that compiled the list, noted, many of the choices are very dark. Check out the list and see for yourself!
