Can anyone recommend some psychological thrillers?

Toni Morrison's books are quiet good

The past lies waiting is a good spooky one

In the darkest corner is another good spine tingler, will post when more come to mind! have you read any of the Hannibal Lecter ones the first two are really good

I've just bought Last Days…

I would heartily second anyone who recommended Barbara Vine. I think A Fatal Inversion and A Dark Adapted Eye are probably her best. Do not go anywhere near her recent stuff but the vintage years of twenty to ten years ago are absolute gold.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but highly recommend reading Stephen king's "The Shining" shortly followed by his recent sequel to it called "Doctor Sleep".

"The Shining" is truly one of the creepiest scary books I've ever read, and if you haven't read it but have seen the film, the film is utterly DIRE compared to the book.

Sophie Hannah - but not The Carrier which is dreadful drivel
Minette Walters
Tana French - but did not enjoy Faithful Place

Cold Hands by John J Niven was one of my favourites from this year.

I also love Out by Natsauo Kirini.

I had it on my kindle so no such luck!
I don't think I've found a book so scary since the shining.
I'm going to download Apartment 16 tonight. I liked Ritual, I can just imagine a bunch of men getting themselves in such a mess

I really liked Last Days Junebugjr, although Ritual is my favourite because of the forest.

But as you say, Last Days is very atmospheric and at one point I had to stop reading it one night and put it in a drawer because it gave me the creeps. It wasn't enough to close the book, it had to go in a drawer as well

Also Last days by Adam Nevill is very good. All about the occult and its consequences etc, but very atmospheric. I'd say I'm hard to scare, but that did have me twitching slightly!

Another vote for Adam Nevill. Ritual is very good.
Ive read 'into the darkest corner' by Elizabeth Hayes, and found it a bit crap, like she didnt do enough research on DV before she wrote it.
Graham mastertons new ones - the Katie Maguire series is ok, a bit gory if you like that sort of thing.

In The Woods, rather.

I'm reading Tana French's Into The Woods now and it's not going well for me. The writing style is flowery, pretentious, and bizarrely feminine, considering that the narrator is a man.

Does it get better? I'm about 10% in.

Another vote for Barbara Vine.
Have you tried any Åsa Larsson? I've found her books very tense, but a little gory however I'm a bit of a wuss

Anything by Dean Koontz he is an awesome author, a bit of a mix of horror, thriller, similar to stephen king.

The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters, this really good.

Anything by Minette Walters, scolds bridle, the ice house.

Consistently readable and a real page turner.

Patricia Highsmith. Classic psychological thrillers. The Talented mr Ripley sucks you into a sideways world where the wrong path is taken. She also wrote the classic Strangers on a Train. What more can you say!

A dark adapted eye by Barbara vine. Pseudonym of Ruth Rendell so a very classy psychological thriller. Her Barbara vine novels are more psychological in nature.

How To Be A Good Wife by Emma Chapman was a good psychological story, as is Who Is Sarah Lawson by KJ Rabane.

Nina Todd Has Gone by Lesley Glaister might also fit the bill for you.

Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty might cover both psychological and crime and I thought it was very good.

Alys, Always by Harriet Lane was good and reminded me a little of Notes on a Scandal, it was that type of quiet but slightly edgy book.

As for horror, I quite liked Colony by FG Cottam, which was creepy but I don't think there was much gore in it. I've enjoyed all of his books and they have an old fashioned ghost story feel to them all rather than a modern slasher-blood theme.

I read a Kindle short called A Sincere Warning About The Entity In Your House by Jason Arnopp and that was creepy rather than gory.

And have you tried anything by Adam Nevill? I quite liked Ritual and am reading his latest book House of Small Shadows now. Nothing too gory as yet, it's about a woman who goes to value some antique dolls, puppets and taxidermy in a creepy old house. There is a chance that things are going to turn gory by the end but not so far. It's just weird and creepy.

Tana French has some really good ones. Set in Ireland, Dublin murder squad series. She's got 4, the last one was very very good. You don't have to read them in order I don't think. Into the wood and Broken Harbour were my favorites, the other 2 are alright but a bit more meh.

Marking place to read properly later!

Oh, and A Place of Execution which was suggested earlier is brilliant and it's not as gory of some of Val McDermid's.

Have you read Perfume by Patrick Suskind?

Another vote for Barbara Vine.

Try Therese Raquin. Utterly horrible, atmospheric and compelling to the last page, one of the best thrillers I've ever read.

However, there is an instance of animal cruelty that I took (relatively) in my stride while a hard-hearted youngster reading it for the first time but I've never read it again because I know it's there and I would find it very distressing indeed these days.

Blacklands by Belinda Bauer is very good, as are the subsequent two in the series, Dark Side and Finders Keepers.

A fatal inversion is a great read.

Some of Sophie Hannah's are better than others, but I have love most of Barbara Vine's novels.
Would also highly recommend as perhaps not 'thriller/horror/crime' but very psychological...
Black is the Colour by Helen Howe
Spider by Patrick McGrath
The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly

I like Sophie Hannah and Linwood Barclay.
