What a thriller box feels like
These are the kinds of thrillers our curators have been packing most. Your box follows your note, so it can lean any way you like.
Dark academia and gothic
Rare-book rooms, old schools and country houses with locked doors. Katy Hays's The Cloisters and Katie Lumsden's The Secrets of Hartwood Hall have been two of our most-packed picks lately.
Crime, cops and spies
Police procedurals, Nordic noir, and political or espionage thrillers such as Connor Sullivan's Wolf Trap, for readers who like a case to crack.

Questions
Is a thriller book box all thrillers?
Your box follows every genre you pick, and you pick at least four, so it is a mix. If you want it heavy on thrillers, choose close neighbors like Mystery, Horror and Action & Adventure, and say so in your curator note.
Can I tell you what I don't want to read?
Yes. Use the curator note for anything you'd rather skip: graphic violence, harm to children or animals, explicit romance, a certain author. A real person reads every note before choosing your books.
Will I get a thriller I've already read?
Not one you tell us about. List the books and series you already own in your curator note. We also keep a record of every book (by ISBN) we send you, so we won't send you the same book twice. If a repeat ever slips through, you choose: 50% back on that box, or two extra books in your next one.
How much does a thriller box cost?
Boxes are priced by size, not genre: 3, 4, 5 or 6 books. A monthly subscription costs less per box than buying once, and prepaying for 3 or 6 months saves more. Today's prices are on the box page.
Are the books new?
They are new or like-new, unread books: hardcovers and paperbacks, often recent releases. Every box also comes with two paper bookmarks and two stickers.
