Since I’ve realized that my book, which I though to be a complete misfit genre-wise, actually fits into the subgenre of psychological suspense very neatly, my eyes have opened to all kind of possibilities.

I love the four requirements you’ve outlined in the article, especially the “no violence prerequisite”. In my own story, the threat to the heroine comes from losing her mind, it’s a mental health issue, a very quiet horror. Any other books in the same line (besides the much-discussed Girl on the Train) you could think of? Experimental prose is welcome. Many thanks in advance!
