What is a "chiller"?
A chiller is a type of novel designed to evoke a sense of fear or suspense. Often used to describe books that are meant to thrill or unsettle the reader, chillers may focus on psychological tension, eerie atmospheres, and unexpected plot twists. They can overlap with genres such as horror or thriller, but the emphasis is typically on creating a chilling effect that keeps readers on edge.
