An Audible book that kept me up late.
By Evie B.
“We're all not quite as sane as we pretend to be.”
I am a great fan of Alfred Hitchcock and his films, but this is the only film that I haven't watched more than once. Sure, that includes a string of other Oscar winners like Shawshank Redemption and Forest Gump; I'm just a weirdo. Psycho really scared me when I was young, though. There was no way to explain how the silhouette of mother's chair rocked on its own while Norman was at the hotel. I don't like unexplainable things.
The novel was actually really good! It was very psychological and Bloch gave the reader a copilot seat into Norman's mind. It's not until the very end of the novel that we finally learn everything there is to know about Norman, his complex relationship with his deceased mother, and his questionable choice of reading material.
For a novel written in 1959, this must have been pretty out there, but it was based on murderer Ed Gein, who was arrested in 1957. He had murdered two woman and apparently exhumed grave sites regularly to showcase body parts. He was even in the process of creating a woman's skin suit to resemble his mother so that he could literally "crawl into her skin." That is some pretty twisted stuff. It makes this book and any other Gein inspired characters appear mild (nod to Buffalo Bill). And now for a break in reading material. Phew!

Pretty perverse for it's day and reads like the best of today's horror
By Frank Errington
5 of 5 Stars
Why did is take me nearly 57 years to get around to reading Robert Bloch's Psycho? Maybe it was because I was a mere seven years old when it was first published and I was still reading such classics as Fun With Dick and Jane and it would be a number of years before I learned of the fun to be had with a good horror book and by then it just became lost in the all the new material released in the intervening years.
So what made me decide to read this essential work now? Well, this Monday will see the release of Robert Bloch's Psycho: Sanitarium, a new novel written by Chet Williamson. Set in the years Norman Bates would spend in a mental institution following the events in Bloch's original Psycho. Thus, now seemed like an excellent time to catch up.
By now, everyone knows the story, even if they've never read the book or seen Alfred Hitchcock's film adaptation. So it's really not necessary to provide much of a synopsis here. Let's just say Psycho was pretty perverse for it's day and writer, Robert Bloch did a wonderful job in expressing the relationship between Norman and his mother Norma which lead to his being the person he is in the book.
Reading Psycho has even given me a new appreciation for the A&E series Bates Motel which I've enjoyed for four seasons now. While not exactly a retelling of the book or the movie, it certainly captures the underlying themes of the author's original story, particularly the way the Bates family put the "fun" in dysfunctional. Norman Bates is a wonderfully complex, broken man, and is one of my favorite flawed literary characters of all time.
As a result of reading Psycho I'm looking forward, more than ever, to Chet Williamson's new work of which Publisher's Weekly says, “Horror author Chet Williamson ably succeeds in the tough task of creating a sequel to Robert Bloch’s masterpiece, Psycho; a prequel to the less effective Psycho II; and a solid story in its own right…The novel shines. Whenever Norman gets the spotlight, the novel feels like a lost Bloch work.”
The original Psycho is available through The Overlook Press in every format imaginable.
Recommended.
Robert Bloch was an American fiction writer, primarily of crime, horror, fantasy and science fiction, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Best known as the author of Psycho. Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 30 novels. He was one of the youngest members of the Lovecraft Circle. H. P. Lovecraft was Bloch's mentor and one of the first to seriously encourage his talent.

Provides great context to the movie - Must read!
By AshleyMichelle
It was a great book and a short read. Recently a friend got me into watching "Bates Motel" on A&E, and I was mesmerized by the life of Norman Bates. I came to learn that this show was the prequel of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and realized that I was very interested in understanding how "Norman Bates" was gonna turn out. So, I read the movies, and picked up this book, which I was able to read in a day. What was awesom eabout this book, is that it gave considerable detail about Mr. Bates psyche and also the thoughts of the other characters - his mother, the victims, etc. It made the movie more understandable. Watching the movie alone didn't provide enough context. In short, this is a classic and must read if you are into understanding the mind of a psychopath -- this one is classic.
