When I was finished with the criminally warped mind of Lou Ford, I wanted all the cuddles in the world, ice cream and sleep which involved sleeping pills. 
 I was going through random quotes because that's what I do when I am bored. Because if the quote is good, it intrigues me into reading more about the book. That is what I did when I read this quote. 
 Stephen King said about Jim Thompson: 
 "He was crazy. He went running into the American subconscious with a blowtorch in one hand and a pistol in the other, screaming his goddamn head off. No one else came close." 
 After reading this book you might question your sanity and those surrounding you. 
 When I finished I fought this urge to just dash into the bathroom and pour a bucket full of water on me. It creeped the hell out of me. And that's saying something. Don't get me wrong. It was an very very interesting read. I will recommend to anybody who would care to read into this genre. 
 "A weed is a plant out of place." This is what describes Lou Ford best. 
 The Killer Inside me is the story of Lou Ford, a small town deputy sheriff who is the friendliest guy in the neighbourhood and dim witted but makes up for it by being funny and the person you will always go to solve your problems. Or so he makes you believe. But Lou has the sickness. He manages to keep it hidden most of the time. Until once in a while he loses his temper. The aftermath always end in bruises and blood and sometime if he is lucky not a body. He has murdered multiple times in the past. He calls this, the sickness . He suspects Conway of being the murderer of his brother so he cooks up a scheme to get his revenge on him. But something goes wrong and now he is stuck deep in the middle of the investigation. Can he find a way out? 
 He is a sadist and a murderer. He is a high functioning Psychopath. And he has a reason for every atrocity he commits. And the reasons are so reasonable that sometime along the way even you would on some subconscious level, start agreeing with him. 
 The writing is strong even powerful. It brings out the emotion boiling up. Waiting to burst. It's a first person unreliable narration of the best kind. It unsettles you throughout the whole read. You just want to yell at the characters to run the hell away from Lou Ford. Atleast he doesn't discriminate in killing. He kills friends, mistresses and lovers just about the same.
