Psicosis

Robert Bloch nació en Chicago en 1917. A los quince años se escribía con H.P. Lovecraft entrando a formar parte del llamado "Círculo" de sus colaboradores y discípulos, todos dedicados a la ceremonia literaria del Horror. Ha trabajado intensamente para la radio, la televisión y el cine. Psicosis es su obra más famosa pero tiene relatos cortos verdaderamente antológicos, como "Suyo afectísimo Jack el Destripador", "La brujita" o "La gente en la pantalla". Ha cultivado la narración policíaca, la ciencia ficción y sobre todo la que verdaderamente pone los pelos de punta... "Nadie conocía la existencia de aquel agujero; ni su madre. Era un secreto. En realidad se trataba de una grieta en el yeso del otro lado, pero podía ver a través de ella. Veía el interior del cuarto de aseo. Podía ver mucho..."
