Reviews

‘Jason Starr is terrific and Twisted City is one of his best. Starr knows what James M. Cain knew: that a whole world of evil lies right on the edge of the everyday world and you can cross the border in a city minute. His stuff is tough and real and brilliant’

Andrew Klavan

‘Jason Starr is one of the new voices of noir fiction, a writer capable of taking noir from what it has always been toward whatever it can become. He’s got his own slant, his own slashing style, and the moral honesty true noir requires. I could go on, but just look at the proof, Twisted City’

Daniel Woodrell

‘Demonic, demented and truly ferocious and a flat out joy to read. In other words, a total feast. Like it?…I plain worshipped it’

Ken Bruen

‘Streamline as a model’s hips, dark as the inside of a dog’s gut, Twisted City is a hip, white collar update on the James Cain, Jim Thompson style novel with a seasoning all its own. Jason Starr is a unique talent, and Twisted City is one unique book’

Joe R. Lansdale

‘To the obsessive emotionality of a Cornell Woolrich and the gleeful nihilism of a Charles Willeford, Jason Starr adds his own 21st-century urban weirdness. Funny, sick and harrowing, often all at once, Twisted City more than lives up to its title, and I enjoyed it tremendously’
