About this product

Product Information

In his first book of nfiction, Benjamin Percy challenges the tion that literary and genre fiction are mutually exclusive. In fifteen essays on the craft of fiction, Percy looks to disparate sources to discover how contemporary writers engage issues of plot, suspense, momentum and the speculative, as well as character, setting and dialogue. An urgent and entertaining missive on craft, Thrill Me brims with Percy's distinctive blend of anecdotes, advice and close reading, all in the service of one dictum: Thrill the reader.

  • First Impression of Thrill Me: Essays on Fiction

    I'm reading this book as part of a college class on creative writing. It has some good points on genre vs literature. Haven't finished yet, but it could be interesting.

  • Svenska writer-aborning thrilled by "Thrill Me"!

    Just gave this title as a gift to a Swedish relative who is in the formative period of narrative expression. Having read the first few selections in "Thrill Me," she indeed is thrilled by this book.
