I'm just curious. Since I'm writing one, I just want to know if I'm on the right track and adding the right things. Does anyone know what makes a psychological thriller successful?

One of my favorite authors of psychological/supernatural thrillers uses a wonderful technique that has to take TONS of planning, but is incredibly effective: Don't give the reader too much at once. In fact, don't give them very much at all at any one time. Small bits of information, tiny facts (especially ones that seem significant at the time but turn out not to be) spread across the story tantalize the reader without a bit of danger of boring them with exposition.

First...
A good starting point...
A one that would make them interested in the first place..
Second:
Scary.. Unnatural interesting situations...
Third:
Multiple Climaxes...
Fourth:
Conflict, drama, Something that would relate to the reader itself...
Fifth:
An open ending...
That would be nice..
Hope this is the best and hope ds helps !
