I wanted to bring forth to this post a series of books that I have personally read in the genre of Detective Fiction with a few Dark Novelas. The darkness of human souls has long been a mystery to writers, and therefore there is much to be read in these particular styles.
This is a genre filled with fear, death, and the sinister side of human nature, mostly fiction. Many of these have been turned into popular movies and tv series.
This book was actually the first murder mystery novel I was allowed to read as a teen. The darkness just allures you to the secrets hidden in the great Manor House. According to an old legend, a curse runs in the Baskerville legacy since the time of the English Civil War.
When Hugo Baskerville abducted and caused the death of a maiden on the moor, only to be killed in turn by a huge demonic hound. Now this wild animal haunts the families grounds.
In 1976, a uniquely seductive world of vampires was unveiled in Interview with the Vampire a few years later in 1985, a wild and voluptous voice spoke to us, telling the story of The Vampire Lestat.
In The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice continues her extraordinary “Vampire Chronicles” with chilling hypnotic entertaining storytelling in which the oldest and most powerful forces of the night are unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Anne Rice is a lovely storyteller. I love the historical aspects to her immortals and the narrative is unique in her own way.
This book has an amazing storytelling, but at the same time that you don´t want to let it go, you are conflicted by the reality you are reading what a murderer thinks and feels. I was in university and our professor for police and judicial journalism told us to write a 15 page Essay on this book, I ended up writing more.
It is a non-fiction novel, a true masterpiece of journalism and complex storytelling. It details the 1959 murders of four members of the Herbert Clutter family in the small farming community of Holcomb, Kansas. eloquent prose, extensive detail, and triple narrative which describes the lives of the murderers, the victims, and other members of the rural community in alternating sequences.
When I literally say any of the book in the complete collection, I really mean it. Each book is a wonderfully crafted and beautifully writing mystery that keeps you wanting more at the end of each chapter.
Agatha Christie was a mystery writer who was one of the world’s top-selling authors with Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple as mystry solving characters, each one in there own style. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles was published in 1920 and from there on she was a literary sensation.
If you want scary, here you got it, this psychological horror thriller is the real game. This is a gruesome story of torture with blood, guts, and a psychopath. It’s a well told tale, the characters are well developed. We meet Paul Sheldon who is a bestselling novelist that has finally met his biggest fan, Annie Wilkes.
She is tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. This nook literally marked me forever, good or bad feeling, it is still a masterpiece in its genre.
