Published on the centenary of Jim Thompson's birth, THE KILLER INSIDE ME has been an underground classic since its first publication in 1952.

Reissue of a novel first published in the 1970s: Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream.

The best, the fastest, the hippest and the most unorthodox account ever published of the US presidential electoral process in all its madness and corruption.

It is said that the Hell's Angels could paralyse whole towns with fear. This book explores the questions such as: How much of that reputation was myth and how much was brutal reality?

The anarchic, phenomenally strong-selling classic from the godfather of the Beats, featuring for the first time the restored text, all the accompanying essays, and newly discovered material from the original manuscript. Revitalised with a new jacket and an anecdote filled P.S. section.

By the same author as On the Road , this book begins on a mountaintop with the author's diary of a lonely summer spent firewatching. His subsequent descent into modern America records the beginning of the feeling of futility and religious anguish that dominated the last years of his life.
