Nitschke is the author of three books:

===''Killing Me Softly: Voluntary Euthanasia And The Road To The Peaceful Pill''===
Published 2005. In reviewing the book, bioethicist Michael Cooke wrote "Nitschke's insight has been to recognise that assisted suicide is no longer about compassionate medicine, but about technology. Through his work on the web, he is gradually transforming voluntary euthanasia from a mere philosophy into an open-source internet enterprise."<ref name="book1">{{cite news |url=https://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/killing_me_softly_with_his_song/1206 |title=Killing me softly with his song |work=Mercatornet |date=2006-01-12 |access-date=2018-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408210013/https://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/killing_me_softly_with_his_song/1206 |archive-date=8 April 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
