The Killer Inside Me ~ Jim Thompson
Dark dark dark
Did I say this was DARK
Just as the blurb says “... most chilling and believable first person story of a criminally warped mind ...”
Whoa ... talk about dark ... too dark for “noir”.
SO glad that I read it before seeing the movie. The movie was a faithful to the book but I would have turned it off because of the horrible nature of it. The book had pre-conditioned me.
Set in a small town and told through the voice of the deputy sheriff. There is mindless violence and killing ... though, as we are seeing it through his eyes, it is not mindless to him.
A savage look at a psychopath.
