description: Everyone was scared to death when they saw the movie Psycho. But before that movie was even a glint in Alfred Hitchcock's eye, award-winning author Robert Bloch put real fear into the minds of readers with his unforgettable portrait of a very polite young man who proves that evil lurks just beneath a smile...When the Bates Motel loomed up out of the storm, Mary Crane thought it was her salvation. The rooms were musty but clean, and the manager, Norman Bates, seemed like a nice enough fellow, if a little strange...Then Mary met Norman's mother. And the butcher knife.The nightmare had just begun...
