Forty acres by dwayne alexander smith5/24/2023 ![]() Readers shouldn’t have a narrow way of thinking. I can actually see myself in most of situations, or I have been in them. And it’s terrible.īooks written by authors of color resonate more with me. Even worse is that they have to fight to get classified as that genre. But they do not get the same publicity that books written by white authors have. There have been amazing books that have come out in both genres over the years. These genres are one area where Black and other PoC authors still have to fight to be heard. By the definition alone those tend to be exceedingly mild in violence and, by extension, so does the thriller aspect of it. And by that I mean most thrillers have a mystery threaded through them, but not all mysteries are thrillers. Thrillers and mysteries aren’t one and the same, although they can sometimes overlap. There goes my dream of being a detective. Not sure how that works out, but it happens. Either I have the motive right or suspect wrong, or vice versa. Personally, I almost never try to solve these anymore because I’m never all the way right. This feeling is something that occasionally overlaps with mysteries. Exhilaration from being right and more so when I’m wrong. The suspension of knowing what may come next. ![]() ![]() A heightened feeling of anxiety I get from reading the situations that the characters are in. ![]() ![]() I love the rush of adrenaline that I get from reading a good thriller. ![]()
