Wasn’t sure what to expect but I was not disappointed! Loved the plot twist and still slightly confused .. in a good way.
Interesting origin story for Norman Bates.
Classic horror. Story was quick moving and kept the reader’s attention.

A truly scary book. I can see exactly why Hitchcock wanted to make this story into a movie. A perfect spooky season read

This book was good for its time but since I already knew the twists and turns something was taken away.
Even though I already knew the story from the movie, this book had me on the edge of my seat. Fun wordplay, good scene-setting, romantic characterizations. Fun read

So, I’ve been reading the novels behind some of my favorite classic horror films. This one coming hot on the heels of The Exorcist.
Even though the main twist of Psycho is about as much of a secret as Darth Vader being Luke's father, this book still proved to be quite scary. I read about half of it in one sitting before bed and then had terrible nightmares-coincidence? This creepy read packs a punch!
