The verdict is in
"After reading big Joe's book I drove to Compton and had my cervix
stomped out by Ken Foree"

Tiffany Shepis
"Think of the most disturbing, disgusting, and depraved subjects, and
Knetter surpasses them all........Twisted Loneliness is not for the faint of
heart. It caters to the same audience that loves splatter films and horror
with gore a-plenty."

Scott A. Johnson- Author of An American Haunting
"Unabashed, uninhibited, and in your face! Horror the way the way horror
was meant to be. Author Joe Knetter is fearless in terms of leading the
reader down the darkest pathways of human nature."

Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton
"Joe Knetter should be locked up in solitary - but let him keep writing while
he's in there!"

      William Butler- writer/director   
"I could not get past the opening sentence of any of these stories without being
sleazed by projectile vomiting."

Bill Johnson- Leatherface: TCM 2
“I am frequently torn between puking and masturbating; sometimes I do both.”

          Aine---Horror and Hilarity
"Scared me so much I stopped sleepin with Grandma!"

Bill Moseley
There were literally some points in certain stories I had to set the book down and take a deep
breath because I felt seriously nauseated-but in a disturbingly delicious GOOD way-not the
"I-just-ate-undercooked-trout-and-am-about-to-paint-the-can-with-liquid-shit" way.

                                           Jane "Katie Chainsaw" Scarlett- Actress
“Knetter's collection of short stories is aptly titled; Twisted Loneliness taps the most
visceral fears of the human experience, and drenches the reader in gushing torrents
of the taboo!"

     A. Ghastlee Ghoul—TV horror host
"It is too easy to allow the bloody toilet or the deliciously foul descriptions within
"Twisted Loneliness" to push a reader down into a chasm of fear and disgust.
What I did not expect is to find myself relating to many of the disturbing
characters and the vulnerable positions they often find themselves in. The true
horror behind Joe Knetter's work is convincing yourself that these situations are
real, and that the bodies of the victims are yet to be discovered in some
abandoned vat of human feces. "-

                                             Adam Hackbarth, screenwriter
Truthfully , when ever I think that I’ve seen or read it all, someone comes out of the
woodwork and blows me away. This book is one sick puppy and believe me, I know
sick. Using copious amounts of the most disgusting bodily fluids ever committed to
print, Joe crafts together some of the most sickening tales of terror and gore ever
written.

                                                     42nd st. Pete
"Knetter is a fucking screwball. I guess that's why we get along. All
kidding aside though, he really should be committed. Before it's too late."

Kane Hodder
"After reading Zombie Bukkake, I am now totally
queer for Joe Knetter."

Ezra Buzzington
“Do not eat before reading anything written by Joe Knetter, because you’ll
probably throw up by the time you get to the second page.  His writing is
disgusting, vile, sickening, crude, perverse, weird and scary.  It is for that
reason that we can’t wait to read his next book.

Sharon Ceccatti-Hill and Clayton Hill----Lead Zombies Dawn of the Dead
"Joe Knetter is a sick fuck, and I mean this in the best way possible.
The infamous horror author is known for his disgustingly sexual horror tales...
the man just knows how to make people squirm. He doesn't seem to have
that little voice in his head that tells most people not to write such sick stuff,
and his stories are better for it. "


Alex Riviello- Creature Corner
"The gore-filled reeking image in the box is gross, shocking and can
almost make you smell the contents.  I was held fast to the page."

Sid Haig
Taken from his introduction to Twisted Loneliness
  "Joe Knetter's stories are to Writing what Punk Rock is to Music:
Unapologetic In-Your-Face Hardcore Horror! We keep a stack of his books in
the outhouse by Crystal Lake"
   Ari Lehman, The First Jason Voorhees
"The literary equivalent of Syrup of Ipecac. Joe Knetter is the
Shakespeare of sludge."
  
Kyra Schon
"Reading a Knetter story makes you feel dirty.  I don't mean "dirty" like when
you're beating off to autopsy photos and you realize that the cat is totally
watching you from the edge of the bed- but you finish anyway because
you're already halfway there and it's actually turning you on a little bit.  I mean
that it makes you feel like you're some kind of sick-o."

Adam Green - writer and director of HATCHET
