Fun pulp! I think Joseph Stefano remains underrated in how he adapted the first act for the screen. I guess Hitchcock and Herrmann contributed some, too.

I really quick and interesting book based on the classic horror movie of the same name. I really enjoyed it although I wish it was the other way around and it was the book that came first and the movie after because it felt like the literary attention to detail and lively descriptions were missing.
It was a rather good representation of DiD and it kept me hooked until the end.

The movie was fat-erasure. I imagined Norman as fat Jeffery Dahmer. This book was nice and short. I read it for a class.
