A Great Imagination Is What Makes Great Suspense Fiction Books

By Jack Hanley

Reading is relaxing and opens our minds to imagination. Settling in with one of the newest suspense fiction books will keep you on your toes till the very end. There is nothing better than finding a book that keeps you wondering all the way to the end, who really done it.

The great thing about reading fiction is the characters are make believe. The characters developed in suspense and fiction can be as scary as one wants them to be. If you have tossed around attempting to write, why put it off any longer. If you let you imagination go the rest will develop.

You can start slowly and just work on it when you have the free time. All it takes to get started is a character or two, imagining a scary place and your imagination. The following are a few tips to get you started. They are by far all of the answers but it will give you a general idea of where to begin.

Have a general idea of where you want the plot to take place. There is nothing like a dark house or empty town to be the best beginning to a good suspense. Think of what scares you or scared you as a child and double it to be adult scary.

The character is the next step. It is best to have a few main characters that interact through out the story. Remember there are also a good guy and a bad guy and many others in between. Make your characters come to life by describing them in full detail. Include their hair color, eye color and even what they are wearing if necessary. They point is to make them appear real. If the reader can picture the way they look they will come to life.

Each chapter should incorporate more and more suspenseful scenes. The more you build the suspense the better. Try and make the reader guess what will happen next. The best part is when the reader thinks they have it figured out only to find they were totally wrong. This will make them want to continue reading until they find the next possible answer. If possible make two or three suspects seem like the perfect answer to the puzzle and then switch it up to keep the readers guessing if maybe they were wrong again.

The ending should be an "oh my" ending. One that will make the reader afraid to sleep with the lights out. The best inspiration can be found in other books. Do not by any means copy someone else works, but if you are stumped on ideas for places for example, read some great works and see how the author brings their town or destination to life. Get a feel for how the characters come to life and develop your own ideas in your imagination.

Often times the words will come to you when you are trying the least. If you have an idea of where you want your story to take place or simply the type of character you want to create, the rest will come. Try to not over think your idea. Your imagination is a powerful tool, let it go and write the words as you think of them. If you have to delete and rewrite, you will still have a general starting point. Suspense fiction books are imaginations coming to life in print. You can imagine your character as horrifying as you want and you can put them in any town, house or site. They are your imagination; let them be whoever you want.
