The Next Time I Die

Paperback

Price: $14.95

Overview

A paranoid thriller in the mind-bending tradition of Philip K. Dick and The Twilight Zone, THE NEXT TIME I DIE will draw you into its claustrophobic web of suspense and leave you questioning everything you think you know.

DYING WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

Steven Blitz didn’t think about his own safety when he saw the man trying to force a woman into his car. He stepped in to defend her, and got a knife to the gut for his troubles.

But when he wakes up in the hospital from what should have been a fatal wound, he finds the whole world changed – a different president in the White House, a loving family when he’d been on the verge of divorce, more money in the bank than he’s ever seen. There’s a dark side, though: in this world, Steven Blitz is not a good man. And now he’s got to get himself out of serious trouble without even knowing what it is he’s done wrong.

“Jason Starr is the first writer of his generation to convincingly update the modern crime novel by giving it provocative new spins.”
–Bret Easton Ellis

"So fresh and clever and compelling. I don't know when I last turned pages so quickly."
IAN RANKIN

"I really don't know how Jason Starr does it: I start out thinking I'm only going to read a chapter and an hour later I'm on page eighty."
BRET EASTON ELLIS

"A paranoid noir freakout playing its own one-of-a-kind game... and a shameless page-turner."
JOE HILL

"An audacious mindbender of a novel. A high-octane cocktail of infidelity, murder and alternate realities, served up straight from the Twilight Zone."
WALLACE STROBY

"Beautifully and perfectly crafted. Halfway between Christopher Nolan's Memento and a story by Philip K. Dick."
MATTEO STRUKUL

"With The Next Time I Die, Jason Starr has taken a next level leap... It's like Philip K. Dick is still with us and has just written a new, brain-frying work of New York noir."
BRIAN GREENE, CRIMINAL ELEMENT

"It might be my favorite of his books ever. I read it in one day and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Highly recommended."
ED BRUBAKER

"Jason Starr is one of the sharpest, most entertaining writers of crime fiction working today, and this book will bend your brain. Strongly recommended."
RAY GARTON, author of Live Girls

"Swift-moving and entrancing"
LOCUS

"An adrenaline rush of a read that's exhilarating, frightening, violent, hallucinatory, and I-can't-believe-that-just-happened shock-inducing."
CRIMINAL ELEMENT

"Starr melds noir and a multiverse narrative to create a sinuous, high-wire act of a novel. It's an unabashed page-turner."
CRIMEREADS

"A masterfully told tale." - Midwest Book Review
