Sleep With All the Lights On: A Round-Up of Freaking Good Thrillers
This edition of the Riot Recommendation is sponsored by Freak by Jennifer Hillier from Gallery Books.
Suspense magazine chose Jennifer Hillier’s “truly frightening” debut, Creep, as one of 2011’s best novels, while #1 bestselling author Jeffery Deaver cautioned “you better call in sick—you’re not going anywhere until you finish reading.” Now, Hillier returns to the Pacific Northwest college town where one killer’s stranglehold has ebbed . . . but another sick mind has waited for the perfect moment to pick up where the terror left off.
