Jason Starr recommends
thumb
Hell On Church Street (2011)
Jake Hinkson
"...an instant classic, as relentlessly twisted as anything by Jim Thompson or Charles Willeford."
thumb
Eat the Dark (2007)
Joe Schreiber
"Reminiscent of Stephen King's early work, Eat the Dark is a terrifying, claustrophobic, bone-chilling, unputdownable masterpiece of suspense fiction. Human monster Frank Snow is a wonderful creation."
thumb
The Concrete Maze (2007)
Steven Torres
"Tough, fast-paced, gripping and hard-boiled to the bone. I simply loved it."
