26 of Our Favorite Thriller Books That Were Turned Into Movies

Yes, Gillian Flynn's Dark Places was turned into a movie — a 2015 movie starring Charlize Theron, to be exact — but it didn't make much of a splash at the box office. That's fine, though, because the novel remains just as addictive as Gone Girl. The story follows a woman named Libby who revisits her tragic past as a survivor of "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas" in order to make money off a group of true-crime fans. Unfortunately, revisiting her past also puts her on the radar of the killer who murdered her family.
