A Goodreads user asked Asher Ellis:

What is your favorite Jim Thompson book?

Asher Ellis I'd have to go with THE KILLER INSIDE ME. Extremely disturbing and realistic, I agree with Stanley Kubrick who once called it, "probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind I have ever encountered." I loved Thompson's inclusion of "needling," the practice Lou Ford does to channel his sadistic urges.
