10. The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen (1894)
A golden fantasy horror classic, The Great God Pan almost ruined its author’s reputation at the time: his tale of pagan woodland rituals, freaky crimes, and supernatural encounters was denounced by critics. But it influenced iconic writers like Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, and Stephen King himself who described it as “the best horror story in the English language.”
9. Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney (1955)
Tapping into quite the opposite subgenre, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a timeless sci-fi horror following a doctor’s investigation into his patients' reports. As more and more people are seemingly losing their emotions and personalities, he uncovers an alien conspiracy for replacing humans with identical copies. A story to be “read and savored,” King says.
8. The Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson (1956)

Is Aidan Turner’s Dr. Joe O’Loughlin a rooftop hero or a sick killer in The Suspect? That’s the question set up by the trailer, which TV Insider can exclusively debut as the five-part thriller comes to Sundance Now and AMC+ on November 3. “All fear can be overcome, rational and irrational. And sometimes we need help in doing that,” Joe says in a voiceover in the video. But when he’s brought in by the police to consult on a case after a woman’s been stabbed 21 times, he keeps vital information to himself, and then everything about him is called into question. Watch the trailer above for more. Sundance Now & ITV Based on the bestselling novel by Michael Robotham, The Suspect follows Joe, who appears to have a perfect life — a devoted wife, a loving daughter, a successful practice as a clinical psychologist, a media profile, and a publishing deal.

Contains spoilers for all episodes of The Suspect
The end of episode three of ITV’s The Suspect, based on Michael Robotham’s book, found our Doctor Joe O’Loughlin (Aidan Turner) almost at rock bottom. And it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
The case against him for the murder of Catherine is looking pretty strong in the eyes of detective Devi and Ruiz based on very strange behaviour from Joe (he has fibbed A Lot) as well as circumanstial evidence all pointing in his direction. He’s either guilty, or someone really is out to get him.
Could it be his long time friend Doctor Gerald Owen (Adam James) aka Jack – who has the same initials as him? Jack heads to the police to come clean that he was the J.O. in Catherine’s journal which has now been discovered.
A few words about Jack and his inconsistent behaviour.

Oh Doctor O’Loughlin, for a “brilliant” man you are a very silly boy. In episode two of ITV’s crime thriller The Suspect, based on the novel by Michael Robotham, the clinical psychologist with the formerly “perfect life” has learned absolutely no lessons from episode one.
To recap, a young woman is found dead, stabbed 21 times, buried in a shallow grave in a cemetery. Either by coincidence, or for nefarious reasons, O’Loughlin talked himself into a job consulting on the case by muscling in on a meet up between young Detective Devi (Anjli Mohindra) and some sex workers he’s pals with.
Then once he’s brought into the morgue to see the body, he claims he doesn’t recognise the woman and yet sneaks back into the room by memorizing the code, foolishly (we guess) assuming a police morgue wouldn’t have CCTV up the wazoo.

You know the story.
Superhero psychologist with early on-set Parkinson’s publicly saves the life of a teenager, meets a detective while hanging out with sex workers down the pub, is immediately hired as a consultant on a murder case and then becomes the prime suspect. Oh and he’s played by Poldark (aka Aidan Turner).
ITV latest glossy thriller The Suspect, based on the debut novel of Michael Robotham, is a semi-ridiculous, tropey but nonetheless twisty-turny ball of fun told over five episodes broadcast weekly. Somewhat in the mold of HBO shows like The Undoing and Big Little Lies, where we revel in seeing beautiful people with aspirational lives get their comeuppance, this London-set version establishes Turner’s Joe McLoughlin as a man with a perfect life.

Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling,” the logline teases. “All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life.

Photo: ‘The Secrets She Keeps'/Netflix I’ve been jonesing for a good psychological thriller series to sink my teeth into ever since ‘Big Little Lies’ wrapped up after its short two-season stint. I was excited and intrigued once I heard of the Australian mini-series ‘The Secrets She Keeps’ (based on the book of the same title written by Michael Robotham) which would finally be making its appearance on American television. What sounds like a very subtle plotline: two pregnant women bonding in the middle of a supermarket in a quiet Sydney suburb about their nearly identical due dates, quickly turns sinister when a tragedy occurs which in my eyes is the perfect recipe for an incredibly binge-worthy series. This show is made up of two female counterparts who had me hooked by the end of the very first episode. This show is equally heart-wrenching, suspenseful, chaotic, downright maddening, and...

The Secrets She Keeps is a 2017 novel by Michael Robotham, a former investigative journalist turned ghost writer, now a leading Australian crime author.
