How to write a Thriller! (A.K.A. Suspense Is Key!)

1- Keep Readers Jumping in
 Their Seats!
Best way to give a reader a thrill in my opinion. Your writing has to be detailed while also full of action and mystery.
Such as: "We three sat in the dark on the leather couch watching 'Friday the 13th'. the smell of popcorn filled the air. we all knew why we were here , we knew what we were waiting for. Then as the credits rolled, I heard the knock. I looked at my friends, we knew what we had to do. It was time. We grabbed the jar, the secret jar. Then we headed to the door, we saw the shadowed figure standing on the other side. I opened the door. Then we did what we had to do,  what so many of are friends had done before us. . . We paid the pizza guy. (LOL)
Now you see I didn't describe much, for a thriller you need to leave room in your writing for your reader to go wild with their imaginations. You want your book to thrill your readers to the bone so when they hear a noise they'll be like- 

Readers- "I love this book!"

2-Make sure to Give necessary 
 Details

 You need to be vague with details when writing thrillers but not so much that your readers are wondering what's going on. You need to describe the main stuff like your surroundings. You see above I wrote it where I describe only a few things. Where you know their in the living room. because I explained the couch and the tv. So be detailed. You want your readers to be like-

Readers- "Holy Crap don't Leave me alone."

3-Thriller Or Horror?

You need to know there is a difference between thriller stories and horror stories. in thrillers there is less blood. in horror there are a lot of bodies. I've notice some writers can get lost in the shady wall between thriller and horror. So you need to know thriller stories are made to excite a reader. Horror stories are made to frighten a reader so
