Psycho
Robert Bloch · 3 novels · 1959–1990
Robert Bloch's 1959 novel Psycho follows the unraveling horror around an isolated motel and its unsettling proprietor, loosely inspired by real crimes of the era rather than tied to any single true case. Decades later Bloch returned to the character twice more, in Psycho II and Psycho House, picking up the story at widely separated later points rather than continuing it scene by scene. The three novels trace one disturbed man's world across time more than they form a single connected plot.
