Once around the Bloch : an unauthorized autobiography
by Robert Bloch
(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1993 in English and held by 318 libraries worldwide Robert Bloch was destined to make generations nervous about showering when he penned PSYCHO. But there's more to his story than just a brief stay at the Bates Motel. In ONCE AROUND THE BLOCH, he recounts it all, in the fast, furious and funny way that only he can. ONCE AROUND THE BLOCH takes us from Bloch's early years in Chicago to his first fateful encounter with the pulp magazine classic, Weird Tales. Within its pages, he discovers the peerless horror fiction of H.P Lovecraft, and he begins a correspondence with Lovecraft which changes the course of his life. It is Lovecraft himself who first suggests that young Mr. Bloch might just have the knack for dreaming up literary terrors of his own. And how right he is.
