They're using format in interesting ways. Mixed-media narratives with embedded text messages, therapy notes, newspaper clippings, or podcast transcripts. These formats provide different, often conflicting, psychological perspectives on the same events. A character's casual text might contradict their formal police statement. The suspense is in triangulating the truth from these disparate sources, which mimics the modern experience of trying to find facts in a flood of fragmented, biased information.

A subtle way they do it is through prose style itself. A character's mental state can be reflected in short, frantic sentences, chaotic paragraph structures, or repetitive, obsessive phrasing. As their psyche fractures, so does the narrative's cohesion. You feel their unraveling in the very rhythm of the words. The suspense is baked into the reading experience itself, not just the plot events. It's a more immersive and artistic approach that really showcases the writer's skill.

Sometimes the most effective tool is restraint. The best psychological suspense, for me, happens in the quiet moments after a revelation. The character's silent reaction, the way they process the information internally, the slow dawning of a horrifying implication. Modern writers who trust the reader to sit in that silence, to feel the weight of a truth settling in, create an incredibly potent and intimate form of suspense. It's not about what's shouted; it's about what's swallowed.

They delve into the psychology of obsession beautifully. Not just the killer's obsession with a victim, but the detective's obsession with the case, a journalist's obsession with the story, a family member's obsession with closure. The narrative follows that obsessive single-mindedness, showing how it consumes everything else in a person's life. The suspense is in watching a person willingly walk away from health, relationships, and sanity in pursuit of an answer. It's both compelling and tragic.
