"Truly, hellishly gritty." -Los Angeles Times

"Jim Nisbet is a lot more than just good... powerful,provocative... remains in the mind long after the novel is finished.Nisbet's style has overtones of Walker Percy's smooth southern satin, buthis characters - losers, grifters, con men - hark back to the days of JamesM. Cain's twisted images of morality." -Toronto Globe-Mail

"Horrifying, riveting... a book worth reading." -United PressInternational

"A novel of rare ferocity... a veritablenightmare. A great and terrifying roman noir!" -Le Figaro

ćLethal Injection is one of the rare books that really makes youappreciate what dark fiction is capable of and how diluted other purportedlydark fiction is. ... Jim Nisbetďs work has been tapping directly into thepulse of America for decades. Like others who have done the same in thepast its only later that the rest of us catch up and realize just how rightthose trailblazers were all along. With two new releases and the start ofthe re-issues in 2010 that time is now, for all of us to not only catch upto this unheralded master but to offer him the respect and regard that hedeserves.Ć -- Spinetingler

ćFriends, this is midnight noir,dark and dank and infused with doom, but rendered with beautiful phrasingand full of that human ache.Ć Ransom Notes book blog
