Icily terrifying!, New York Times Psycho all came from Robert Bloch's book. Alfred Hitchcock Robert Bloch is one of the all-time masters. Peter Straub Norman Bates loves his mother. She has been dead for the past 20 years, or so people think. Norman knows better though. Ever since leaving the hospital, he has lived with Mother in the old house up on the hill above the Bates Motel. One night, after a beautiful woman checks into the motel, Norman spies on her as she undresses. Norman can't help but spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife. If you love to be scared, or are a fan of classic movies, then you know the story of Norman Bates, his mother, and the dark and frightening Bates Motel. Alfred Hitchcock's taut, shocking scare-fest starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh is a classic movie, as scary today as it was in 1960 when it was first released, and this is the 1959 novel upon which the movie is based. It was here that the legend of the Bates Motel was born.

Classic

Psycho is an absolute classic and the perfect way to kick off my 'Spooky Season' reading! The story follows a woman on the run who makes the fateful decision to stop at the eerie Bates Motel, where she meets Norman—a seemingly average, friendly guy who quickly turns into a nightmare. When she goes missing, her sister embarks on a tense search to find her. With a few well-placed twists, this book keeps you guessing, and the ending will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. A fantastic read! Watching the movie after finishing the book was the perfect way to wrap up the experience.

One of my favorite books!

I didn’t know it the amazing movie was based on a book. When I found the book, I was actually a little hesitant to read it. I loved the movie so much, and (foolishly) thought that the book would be boring in comparison, but then I thought “why not?” And got it. I am so glad I did! It is by far one if my favorites! Even though I knew the twisted end, it was still interesting to see it all unfold and see how Norman saw/experienced everything!
