What’s even creepier than psychological thriller books and true crime podcasts, you ask? Nonfiction true crime novels of course. While we love a good psychological thriller read and true crime podcast, there is something about a true crime novel that takes things to the next level. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re reading the real stories combined with the extra creepy details and layers that a novel can bring, or the fact that we’re reading in the dark right before bed? Either way, we’re always down for a chilling read. Here are five top rated true crime books to add to your reading list:
Bitter Harvest by Ann Rule
The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story by Ann Rule
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara
In Cold Blood By Truman Capote
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson
