Haiku Reviews
Misery by Stephen King
​
A chiller that finds
Terror in four simple words
“Your number one fan”
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Truly shocking shocks
Take-no-prisoners Norse noir
Be afraid of Lise
The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins
Probably ends with
Super cool ninja battles
But I fell asleep
A Ladder To The Sky by John Boyne
Wonderfully dark
Witty voice takes liberties
With your ideas
Lullaby By Leila Slimani
Lovely French comments
On a social underclass
But no thrills at all
The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris
Cannibals galore,
A police chase steeped in gore
Drills into your core
The Resident by Francis Cottam
If you want to scare
Homeowners, this is cheaper
Than the council tax
The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James
Lonely minds summon
Sexy ghosts in pre-thriller
Ambiguity
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The girl is going
So is this book, I did not
Like it very much
The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay
These twisted, jagged
Narratives have the sharpness
To slice finger tips
Rage by Stephen King
Discontinued by
King, this tale can’t horrify
The world any longer
The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor
Part coming-of-age
Part off-the-rails-murdery
-chaotic-gorefest
The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian
‘Ultimate airplane
Book’ with not quite ultimate
But pretty good twists
The Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton
Flesh-crawl tribute to
The power of obsession
Seen through disturbed eyes
The Sister by Louise Jensen
A suspicious Anne,
Full of raging jealousy
Burning with vengeance
Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage
Daddy’s little girl,
Or Mommy’s little demon
Who do you believe?
The Woman In The Window A.J. Finn
Get drunk and talk about
Old films kind of thrills, A.J.
should rewrite the end.
