The Killer Inside Me is a 1952 novel by American writer Jim Thompson. In the introduction to the anthology Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1950s, it is described as "one of the most blistering and uncompromising crime novels ever written."

The novel is referenced in the Dead Milkmen song "Sri Lanka Sx Hotel," on their 1988 LP, Beelzebubba.

The song "The Killer Inside Me" by experimental hip-hop artist MC 900 Ft. Jesus is based on the novel.

Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, who worked with Thompson on the script for the 1956 movie The Killing, praised the novel, stating that it was probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind he had ever encountered.



Jessa's film review of The Killer Inside Me... Jessa gets invited to a screening and is shocked by the brutality of "The Killer Inside Me."

Like Jessa said, read the book. Jim Thompson is the writer that takes you to hell. I'm glad Jessica Alba talked about the brutaltiy because the book is a punch to the gut: a pulp classic, yall. I'm a Thompson fan and what i've seen so far i will not be disappointed by this film. Remember, Jim Thompson takes you to hell.
