The classic suspense thriller that inspired the spine-tingling Alfred Hitchcock film!
Every boy loves his mother . . . but sometimes too much.
Everyone was scared to death when they saw the movie 'Psycho'. But before that movie was even a glint in Alfred Hitchcock's eye, award-winning author Robert Bloch put real fear into the minds of readers with his unforgettable portrait of a very polite young man who proves that evil lurks just beneath a smile . . .
When the Bates Motel loomed up out of the storm, May Crane though it was her salvation. The rooms were musty but clean, and the manager, Norman Bates, seemed like a nice enough fellow, if a little strange . . .
Then Mary met Norman's mother. And the butcher knife.
The nightmare had begun . . .
