From Publishers Weekly

Bloch's latest horror story is a disappointing effort, despite his attempt to exploit the character of Norman Bates of Psycho fame. Having decided to write a book about Bates, Amy Haines travels to Fairvale for material. She arrives in the wake of a young girl's knife-murder at the "Psycho House," a tourist trap re-creation of both the infamous Bates Motel and "mother's house." The murder serendipitously provides an angle for Amy, who has been casting about for a theme for her book. Enlisting the help of a demonologist, a newspaper publisher and a psychiatrist, Amy starts snooping around the once-sleepy community. Predictably, the townsfolk, including the sheriff, do not appreciate the intrusion. After several other victims are attacked with a knife and the tires of Amy's car are slashed, she is convinced that the murderer is closing in on her. But Amy's sleuthing has no real focus beyond her determination to find the killer, so we simply follow her around and wait for something to happen. Though Bloch provides all the elements of a horror story, they fail to coalesce into a truly frightening yarn.

From School Library Journal

Its been ten years since Norman Bates died, and a local entrepreneur has rebuilt the Bates House and Motel as a tourist trap. Then the murders begin. While not quite as good as Psycho (Warner, 1982) or The Night of the Ripper (Tor, 1986), Bloch's superb storytelling skills, combined with his masterful use of tension and suspense, make for excellent reading. The subject matter and Bloch's name alone should ensure the book's popularity among the YA horror crowd. --John Lawson, Fairfax County Public Library, VA

3.0étoiles sur 5 Psycho House, Déc 22 2003

This review is from: Psycho House (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the book Psycho House by Robert Bloch. This is a horror book. I choose this book because I like horror books and it looked interesting. I also heard that Psycho and Psycho II were really good books.
The last line in the book was very interesting and made the book really good.
"When your done writing this book maybe you can write another about the asylum."
"In here"
"No out there"
This quote is Amy and the doctor talking and he means out there in the world because hes a doctor in the asylum.
I thought that this was a good book. It was very exciting and kept me guessing. The book was a about a journalist named Amy, who goes to a small town to do a story about a deceased murderer Norman Bates. Things get interesting when she comes to town and people start getting murdered. Everyones a suspect and everyone giving Amy information is dying. In the end the murderer turns out to be someone who helped Amy and was for a little while her friend. I never would have guessed it was him. I would recommend this book to anyone in high school or older.
