Psycho (Deluxe Edition) - Hardcover

by Robert Bloch (Author)

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-splatter.

Before the infamous new Netflix series Monster or Alfred Hitchcok's classic movie, there was Psycho--the chilling original novel inspired by the shocking crimes of Ed Gein.

"Icily terrifying!" --New York Times

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.

This beautifully produced collector's edition is a great way to experience this horror classic and perfect for displaying and gifting.
