Most spooky genre readers believe they can solve real-life mysteries
More than three in five spooky genre readers say they could solve a real-life mystery, according to a recent survey. The survey of 2,000 horror, mystery, thriller and true crime readers found that 61% believe they have what it takes to unravel a real-world mystery plot. But, only four in 10 (41%) are confident they’d survive the plot of a horror novel and live to tell the tale. Interestingly, men were significantly more confident in their survival skills compared to women (51% vs. 37%). Conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by ThriftBooks, the research investigated all things related to the spooky genre: Plot-come-to-life scenarios, favorite spooky books and even safety best practices gleaned from reading the genre.
