Chronicle Conducive To Books The Killer Inside Me

Everyone in the small town of Central City, Texas loves Lou Ford. A deputy sheriff, Lou's known to the small-time criminals, the real-estate entrepreneurs, and all of his coworkers--the low-lifes, the big-timers, and everyone in-between--as the nicest guy around. He may not be the brightest or the most interesting man in town, but nevertheless, he's the kind of officer you're happy to have keeping your streets safe. The sort of man you might even wish your daughter would end up with someday. But behind the platitudes and glad-handing lurks a monster the likes of which few have seen. An urge that has already claimed multiple lives, and cost Lou his brother Mike, a self-sacrificing construction worker who fell to his death on the job in what was anything but an accident. A murder that Lou is determined to avenge--and if innocent people have to die in the process, well, that's perfectly all right with him. In The Killer Inside Me, Thompson goes where few novelists have dared to go, giving us a pitch-black glimpse into the mind of the American Serial Killer years before Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, and Brett Easton Ellis's American Psycho, in the novel that will forever be known as the master performance of one of the greatest crime novelists of all time.

Weigh Up Containing Books The Killer Inside Me

The Killer Inside Me is unlike any other book I've read. Published in 1952, it's a pulpy crime noir novel with a twist. The protagonist is no hard boiled detective hot on the trail of a killer, but rather the killer himself. Lou Ford is the Deputy Sheriff of a small town in Texas, and he's also a sociopathic murderer. And the reader gets to be inside his head for 229 pages. That's a very uncomfortable place to be. (Mild spoilers ahead, so if you want to go into this book knowing very little,

I read this because I saw that Stephen King recommended it. Any thoughts I have would simply be superfluous.

Possibly even better than Pop. 1280, but essentially it's the same conceit - first person, unreliable narrator, manipulating his readers in to feeling sorry for him whilst going about his immoral business, in this case lots of cold blooded murder.Fascinating and dark, Thompson grabs you with his tale of good ol' boy Lou Ford and you don't want to be let go, even when the house is burning up around you. Ford is more intelligent than everyone around him, but he has a dark secret in his past and a

This is a slightly tricky book to rate and review. I want to give at least a minor warning as I think some readers will find the book to some extent disturbing. that said it's considered a classic of it's type and I can see why. The writing could be called masterful.This novel was written in 1952. Other than a few terms that are obsolete the story holds up well and in no way really feels dated. I mean yeah we have older cars, limited phone availability and a '50s society but it doesn't "jump

I wasn't too sure about this book at the first as it seemed to be a bit slow but it wasn't long before it picked up the pace in a big way and didn't slow down until the end. Jim Thompson has an amazing talent for making the most loathsome characters seem likable. I couldn't help but be engaged and I couldn't figure out how I wanted it to end. My thanks to the folks at the Pulp Fiction group for introducing this and many other fine books.I highly recommend this book.

"A weed is a plant out of place."Indulge me for a moment; before I talk about the books contents, let me talk about the physical book. The cover of my edition is a plain tan-ish color, with just the title, the author, a few small pictures of sheriff stars, revolvers and bottles lined in a row and then a quote of praise that takes up about a third of the cover. The quote is as follows:Probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind I have ever encountered.
