There could be a chance that Stephen King has made some remarks about Jim Thompson's novels in an interview or an article that could be seen as an 'intro' in a broader sense. However, without more research, it's difficult to say for certain. Thompson's novels are often dark and gritty, and if King were to introduce one, he might comment on the noir elements and the complex characters.

One of the highly regarded Jim Thompson novels is 'The Killer Inside Me'. It's a dark and disturbing exploration of the mind of a seemingly ordinary man who harbors a deeply violent and disturbed nature. The narrative is intense and really gets into the psyche of the main character in a way that's both fascinating and terrifying.

Another great one is 'Pop. 1280'. It has Thompson's signature style of complex characters and a seedy, noir - like atmosphere. The story follows a small - town sheriff with his own brand of justice and a lot of secrets.
