Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is brilliant and very,!.very gory!.

You could also try Mary Higgins Clark - not a great fan of her myself but I know my aunt and various other family members are very impressed with her writing!.

Another to try is Erica Spindler (Shocking Pink is a very good read)!. also, Val McDermid!. Not sure where you're from but in the UK, her books were made in to a a couple of TV series!. If you want to be convinced, start with The Wire in the Blood (my favourite book of the whole series is The Mermaid Singing)!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I recently read a pretty good psychological book 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z Danielewski!. It's not exactly on the edge of your seat thriller, but I was impressed by it! I got quite creeped out at bits!.

it's postmodern though, so the style is a bit zany, with different narratives from different people and lots of it is in footnote form!.

But, if you want a genuinely good book that (i hope!) will satisfy you, its worth at least starting it to see if you like it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am not a big reader!. usually i never would finish a book even if it was a major grade at school, but i started reading Three by Ted Dekker and read it in 3 days! i couldnt put it down! even his other books are really good like "Project Showdown" and "Saint"Www@QuestionHome@Com

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
