vivastory @Leftcoastzen Thanks! I also have the following somewhere (it's one of my favorites by him) 4y
Leftcoastzen Oh , I have that one around here somewhere, haven‘t read it yet . Need to find it !😂 4y
vivastory @Leftcoastzen It's pretty grim & disturbing (being Thompson) but sticks out as one of his best 4y
vivastory @Leftcoastzen I should have made more of an effort to find it & included it in my pic because the edition I have actually features a revolver on the cover 4y
flying_monkeys Years back I watched the movie adaptation of The Killer Inside Me 😱 and been too scared to read it (though I own it) or Thompson's other books... one day I'll be brave enough... maybe. 4y

Another deliciously twisted tale full of eccentric characters from the warped mind of the brilliant Jim Thompson. This was a reread, and yet the book retained its ability to shake and surprise me. He was a master story teller! A lesson in lean, mean and razor sharp narrative.
