Featuring a never-before-published short story from Stephen King and edited by the world-renowned and award-winning author of "Psycho", Robert Bloch, this collection includes 22 masterworks harvested by the Horror Writers Association. Stephen King toe-tags a stiff who's still very much alive, and going under the knife, in "Autopsy Room Four". Richard Christian Matheson clocks the final minutes of a man at the mercy of monsters in "Please Help Me". Charles Grant shadows a lost soul looking for a place to rest in "Haunted".

Product Description
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... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

There is some sick stuff in here
Trust me, I mean that in a good way. Almost every single one of these stories is a knockout, and very disturbing. Read more

This is an excellent (creepy) anthology!
"Psychos" is a terrific read, full of stories that make you want to turn the light back on seconds after you have turned it off, just so you can look in the closet... Read more
