Psycho House (1990) - Robert Bloch - Book Review

Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils

When I was in boarding school I read, 'A LOT'... the truth is, there just wasn't a whole lot to do while I was there, but I got the chance to dive in to some really spectacular Stephen King novels, some amazing Star Trek (and Star Wars novels), as well as so many more!

But when I was there, there was one book that I had read that I had thought may have been a fan novel that had been published based on the movie series, 'Psycho' by Alfred Hitchcock (Rear Window)...

At the time I did not actually know that Hitchcock's movie had been based on Robert Bloch's novel... Etc...

Psycho House... A truly fun time!

Well I ended up not being able to put this novel down... I mean it was a truly awesome story of a writer that is prepping to write about Norman Bates 10 years after he had died, and during the time when his old Motel had been turned in to a local tourist attraction! While this is going down, the woman goes to visit the area, and when this occurs, murders start to occur in the area again... Is it something new? Or has the curse of Norman Bates come back to haunt his old home?

The sad thing was, was that for over a decade I had forgotten the title of this novel and have since have not been able to find it, but with a fascinating different direction that Robert Bloch took with this series... I have to say that it may be the third in the series, but it is more then worth a read if you get a chance!
