Psycho Thriller ; mit einer Nachbemerkung des Autors

Bestimmt hat jede/r eine Assoziation, sobald er den Titel "Psycho" hört: bei vielen ist es die berühmte Dusch-Szene, andere können sofort die geniale Filmmusik vorsummen. Keine Frage, der Hitchcock-Streifen hat Filmgeschichte geschrieben. Dabei wird häufig übersehen, dass der Film eine literarische Vorlage hat, die seinerzeit (1959) gar mit dem Edgar Allan Poe Special Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Die vorliegende Taschenbuch-Ausgabe beruht auf einer neuen Übersetzung, die 2012 im Golkonda-Verlag erschien (hier nicht angezeigt) und enthält ausserdem eine Nachbemerkung des Autors. Für Thriller- und Filmfans gleichermassen und für Bibliotheken eine preiswerte Möglichkeit des Erst- oder Nachkaufs.
