Jason Starr recommends

Hell On Church Street (2011)
Jake Hinkson
"...an instant classic, as relentlessly twisted as anything by Jim Thompson or Charles Willeford."

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."

The Concrete Maze (2007)
Steven Torres
"Tough, fast-paced, gripping and hard-boiled to the bone. I simply loved it."
