Book #97: Robert Bloch's Psycho: Sanitarium by Chet Williamson
Robert Bloch's Psycho: Sanitarium Chet Williamson Released: January 1st, 1990 [Blogger’s Note: A lot of life has happened the past few months. Gonna try and hit the goal. No guarantees though.] My 40th book for 2025 was Chet Williamson's "Robert Bloch's Psycho: Sanitarium". The 4th novel in the Psycho series is a bit of an odd ball. Despite the unusually long title, (likely because the author wanted to credit the original author) it reads decently. This book takes place between the original Psycho novel and Psycho II. It focuses on Norman Bates time in the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like this one. It started a bit in the slower end, with a lot of background information that feels extraneous at first, but about 100 pages in the book really starts getting good. Norman Bates meets with valid focus each day was he attempts to team his psychotic state of mind from his act...
