From the Author

Fans of S. King and/or psychological suspense will love it!
I am the author of "Icewall," one of the stories in ROBERT BLOCH'S PSYCHOS. At the risk of committing some sort of authorial faux pas, I would like to urge readers of psychological suspense to give this superb anthology a try. Robert Bloch wrote PSYCHO, which became Alfred Hitchcock's best-known film. Mr. Bloch died before the book was published, and the anthology has become a loving tribute by his peers, colleagues, and beginners (like me) who were influenced by his wonderful novels, stories, and scripts. His legacy lives on in the dark humor and tingling suspense found in the stories contained in this volume, which is brought to you by the Horror Writers Association. Here you will find great stories by the likes of Stephen King, Charles Grant, Ed Gorman, Billie Sue Mosiman, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Richard Christian Matheson, Esther Friesner, Jane Yolen, and Gary Braunbeck, just to name a few. You can't go wrong!

The synopsis for this anthology lists an "online promo" but I have never seen one, so I decided to light a fire in the darkness and bring some attention to this deserving volume -- a volume I am sure Bob Bloch is proud of!

Enjoy! But don't turn off the lights...
