Psycho: A Novel
 List Price: Price: $6.94 You Save: $7.01 (50%) DescriptionRobert Bloch's Psycho captivated a nation when it appeared in 1959. The story was all too real-indeed this classic was inspired by the real-life story of Ed Gein, a psychotic murderer who led a dual life. Alfred Hitchcock too was captivated, and turned the book into one of the most-loved classic films of all time the year after it was released.
Norman Bates loves his Mother. She has been dead for the past twenty years, or so people think. Norman knows better though. He has lived with Mother ever since leaving the hospital in the old house up on the hill above the Bates motel. One night Norman spies on a beautiful woman that checks into the hotel as she undresses. Norman can't help but spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife.
Mysteries of the Worm: Early Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)
 List Price: Price: $11.65 You Save: $4.30 (27%) DescriptionH.P. Lovecraft like his creation, Cthulhu never truly died. He and his influence live on, in the work of so many of us who were his friends and acolytes. Today we have reason for rejoycing in the widespread revival of his canon. If a volume such as this has any justification for its existence, it s because Lovecraft s readers continue to search out stories which reflect his contribution to the field of fantasy. The tales in this book represent a lifelong homage to HPL. I hope you ll accept them for what they were and are a labor of love. --Robert Bloch

The Song of Songs: The World's First Great Love Poem (Modern Library Classics)
 List Price: Price: $8.73 You Save: $7.27 (45%) Description“Next to Genesis, no book in the Hebrew Bible has had a stronger influence on Western literature than the Song of Songs.”–The New York Review of Books One of the greatest love poems ever written, The Song of Songs celebrates the sexual awakening of a young woman and her lover and the intoxicating experience of falling in love. Composed more than two thousand years ago, this book of the Old Testament is not only an essential religious and literary text, but also a source of inspiration to modern-day poets and lovers. Enhanced by an Afterword by the esteemed scholar Robert Alter and a new Foreword from the noted translator Stephen Mitchell, this definitive volume showcases Chana Bloch and Ariel Bloch’s sensuous translation which has “a lyrical purity that is delightful” (W. S. Merwin). Ariel and Chana Bloch's new translation of the Song of Songs--the most sexually explicit and sensually rich book of the Bible--is pure delight from beginning to end. Its introduction is an accessible, sophisticated, entertaining, and comprehensive orientation to the literary and religious history of the Song of Songs. The Blochs say the speakers in this poem "don't suffer love, they savor it." Their translation, overflowing with full--almost to the point of florid--feeling ("Feast, friends, and drink / till you are drunk with love!"), arrives at a time when many Jews and Christians are opening themselves to the religious dimensions of sexuality and human love. Song of Songs has a great deal to teach us; this translation is sure to attract many eager students. --Michael Joseph Gross

Star Trek : Season 2 : Episode 7-8 "Catspaw" / "I, Mudd"I like the writer behind "Catspaw," Robert Bloch, well enough (he wrote the novel Psycho is based on, and while it's not as good as the movie, it's not half-bad), but when he doesn't have a good central idea, he tends to flounder.
