Good old Miriam Webster, such an ideal dinner date. I was dating CanOx, till she was slaughtered for the plate.

  Definition by Mirriam-Webster:

  Thriller:
  ... one that produces thrills ; especially : a work of fiction or drama designed to hold the interest by the use of a high degree of action, intrigue, adventure, or suspense.

  (First coined, according to M-W's Tenth, in 1889)

  The only sub-definition is: Techno-thriller: a thriller whose plot relies on modern technology

  (No notation about when first coined.)

  A writing career, like life, is a journey not a destination.
