A chilling, short read. I’ve heard and been familiar with this story since I was a child but reading it as an adult made it even creepier.

Read this book over thirty five years ago while I was in school.
I remember liking the book but not really loving it. so now that Suntup press has announced they were gonna republish the book in fine press. I Just had to read it again, not sure if it's the more mature me or what but I absolutely loved the Read this time. Norman bates is a great character and reading it in today's world is just amazing. I can only imagine people reading it back when released. wonder what they were thinking lol
