I love how magic, ghosts, robots, and demons inject domestic thrillers with fresh imagination. I especially love how uncanny elements open up new ways to write about marriage, family, and home. I mean, any domestic thriller can explore the idea that, say, a baby or a mother-in-law is monstrous, but why not go there and make the baby or the mother-in-law an actual monster?The author tagged six favorite uncanny domestic thrillers. One title on the list:
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah PinboroughRead about another entry on the list.
Behind Her Eyes starts off with a Bridget Jones-like scenario—boozy single mom Louise, a stolen kiss with David who turns out to be her new boss, a voyeuristic obsession with David’s seemingly perfect marriage—only to arrive at a gasp-eliciting twist. When David looks at his wife and wonders, Who the heck ARE you?, Behind Her Eyes has the most uncanny answer.
Behind Her Eyes is among L.K. Bowen's ten best marriage-gone-bad thrillers, Clare Whitfield's seven literary murderers hiding in plain sight, Alice Feeney's eight top novels featuring odd couples and unexpected partnerships, Leah Konen's seven dark thrillers about friendships gone wrong, and Camilla Bruce's eight novels to make you question reality.
