Psycho II
by Robert Bloch
Can't decide if this book was creepy because it just genuinely is or because I had someone narrating it to me...
Norman Bates is now in a mental ward years after the horrific events of the first novel. He no longer believes he is his own mother but still breaks free. Horrific events follow and his psychiatrist Dr. Adam Claiborne goes after him paranoid and convinced Norman is still alive despite what the police say.
First, this book has many elements that fall under shock value rather than carefully thought out character nuisances including necrophilia, rape, violence as arousing, actual pornography. It kind of comes off as offensive and rather boring to be inundated by such trauma.
Second, this book is enjoyable in the sense that it completely goes off the rails in respect to it being an ordinary sequel following Norman again. It has the same type of narration as the first book but it really is all over the place and doesn't really tie it all in neatly at the end.
So yes, that is mostly why gave it a low rating.
