£1,250.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Psycho’ by Robert Blochh, published by Robert Hale in 1959. A near fine book without inscriptions with a little spotting to the page edges. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper with two small chips to the spine tips. Edges and extremities a little rubbed.
Psycho (1959) by Robert Bloch is a psychological horror novel that follows Norman Bates, a disturbed man who runs a secluded motel. The story begins when Marion Crane, a woman on the run after stealing money, checks into Bates’ motel and is brutally murdered in the shower. The novel delves into Norman’s complex relationship with his domineering mother, who seems to control his every move. As the story unfolds, it’s revealed that Norman has a split personality and has been impersonating his mother, who he had killed years earlier. Psycho is renowned for its shocking twists and exploration of madness. Filmed, marvellously by Hitchcock.
