Our imagination gets released when we read one of the great suspense fiction books. There are books about anything and everything but there is nothing like a good suspense. One that will keep you reading with the lights on and checking the door locks after you're done.
There is nothing like a book filled with suspense and wonder unlike a non- fiction the characters in fiction are made up so they could be anyone the author intends. They can be a vicious and cruel as the imagination of the writer. If you think you have what it takes to write a good page turner why not start one. All it would take is a great imagination and some thought as to how the character should become as real to the reader as to you the writer.
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.
The first part should be to think of where you would want your story to be. The place should be one that you can associate with. When you were a child was there a specific place that terrified you. It could be your childhood home, town, a hospital, any place that could provoke fear.
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.
Sometimes the thoughts will come when you least expect them to. Always have pen and paper to write ideas that pop in your head. Write down everything you think of. It may not make much sense at first, but when you begin to put it all together it will start to flow. Your imagination should come alive in your story. Suspense fiction books are filled with imaginations. You can create who you want to do what you want; after all it's your imagination.
