14 Best Social Thrillers That Will Change the Way You See the World

"What are social thrillers? Social thriller novels use elements of suspense, horror, and mystery genres to explore and point out issues of oppression and societal inequities. Notice how a lot of novels are compared to Get Out lately? Yeah, that's sort of become shorthand for "this is a social thriller." But Get Out isn't the first instance of social thriller in film or novels, and it won't be the last. The social thriller is a genre that allows authors to express their anxieties about the world in which we live in a way that a wide range of readers from different backgrounds can understand. And this is not at all to say that social thrillers are dumbed down. Quite the opposite actually! A good social thriller will make you think and have you reexamining the world from a fresh perspective.
Sound good? Well, then here are 14 social thrillers you're going to want to read!"
