She was a fugitive, lost in a storm. That was when she saw the sign: motel - vacancy. The sign was unlit, the motel dark. She switched off the engine, and sat thinking, alone and frightened. She had nobody. The stolen money wouldn't help her, and Sam couldn't either, because she had taken the wrong turning; she was on a strange road. There was nothing she could do now - she had made her grave and she'd have to lie in it. She froze. Where had that come from? Grave. It was bed, not grave. She shivered in the cold car, surrounded by shadows. Then, without a sound, a dark shape emerged from the blackness and the car door opened. Psycho is not a tale for queasy stomachs or faint hearts. It is filled with horrifying suspense and the climax, instead of being a relief, will hit the reader with bone-shattering force.

A strikingly designed, deluxe hardcover edition of Psycho, one of the most iconic horror novels of the 20th century, featuring a translucent jacket, debossed case, special endpapers, and edge-staining. It was a dark and stormy night when Mary Crane glimpsed the unlit neon sign announcing the vacancy at the Bates motel. Exhausted, lost, and at the end of her rope, she was eager for a hot shower and a bed for the night. Norman Bates, the manager, seemed nice, if a little odd. 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 scarefest 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.

Pleasant Dreams

Pleasant Dreams

Valancourt Books

sidottu
A classic collection of fifteen chilling horror tales by the author of PsychoPleasant Dreams (1960), published just a year after his more famous Psycho, finds Robert Bloch leaving behind his earlier Lovecraftian influences to find his own style and voice in this collection of masterful tales, in which the horror is often laced with an undercurrent of pitch-black humor. In "Catnip," a young bully burns down the neighborhood witch's house and faces a grim reckoning with her black cat. "The Light-House" is a unique collaboration, in which Bloch completes a rare tale left unfinished by the great master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. "That Hell-Bound Train," winner of speculative fiction's most coveted prize, the Hugo Award, is the story of a pact with the devil in which readers may be surprised who gets the better end of the bargain. These and twelve other stories represent some of Bloch's best short fiction. This first-ever unabridged reprint of the original limited edition hardcover includes a new introduction by Joe R. Lansdale."Bloch is the high priest of chills, the demon prince of sweaty palms, the dark genius behind a thousand nightmares." - Harlan Ellison"A hundred years from now, devotees of this genre will still be reading Robert Bloch." - Richard Matheson
