One of the great things about on-demand TV services like Netflix is that you can burn through an entire series of your favorite show without having to wait a week for the next instalment. Well, that was how it was supposed to be. Now, the latest episodes of many of the most popular shows are drip fed to viewers on a weekly basis.
However, did you know that many of the most talked-about shows on Netflix started out as books? So rather than wait for the instalment to drop, or even to dive deeper into the story, why not check out these books.
You by Caroline Kepnes
What looks like it might be shaping up to be sweet love story between two shy protagonists quickly morphs into a disturbing psychological thriller when bookstore worker Joe brings his obsession with Guinevere, an up and coming writer, to a whole new level. However, Guinevere is not all she seem either and it is very much a case of ‘don’t judge these books by their covers’.
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
There is something ironic about the fact that there are few people who haven’t seen that image of a scared Sandra Bullock with a blindfold on. Bird Box has proved a hit on Netflix, but the novel by Josh Malerman is a terrifying, dystopian thriller which will keep readers gripped and scared in equal measures.
Mindhunter by John E Douglas
John E Douglas documents his quarter-of-a-century of service in the FBI in this behind-the-scenes look at some of the most gruesome cases he has had to deal with. Douglas has come face-to-face with some of the most notorious killers in American history including Ted Bundy and Charles Manson.
