About this listen

You remember Norman Bates, the shy motel manager with the fatal mother fixation. Now, years after his horrific bout of butchery, Norman is at large again. Breaking free from the psycho ward, he cuts a shocking swath of blood all the way to Hollywood—where, it so happens, they are making a movie about Norman’s life and crimes. A movie that suddenly and terrifyingly becomes a lot like real life.

©1982 Robert Bloch (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Horror

Critic reviews

“Perhaps the finest psychological horror writer…and never in finer form.” (Stephen King)
All stars
Most relevant
The story was as good as the first (especially as I’ve never watched the film so had no idea of the plot twists) but I felt it wasn’t as well written as the first.
The original book had subtlety and led as gently as the genre allowed… this one has the subtlety of a sledgehammer. It actually feels like a different author wrote it (maybe because there’s 30 years between them)

Not as well written as the first

Paul Michael Garcia is an excellent narrator who brings the characters to life in this great sequel to Bloch's classic novel.

Psycho Too

Nothing like the film, and that's what makes it even better!

Norman Bates manages to escape his psychiatric lock down by murdering and impersonating a nun, as you do! His psychiatrist takes a leave of absence to track him down, and don't you know it, just as all this is happening, Hollywood is filming Norman's life story.....could he be heading out there for a guest appearance?!

He's Back
