It was a dark and stormy night when Mary Crane glimpsed the unlit neon sign announcing the vacancy at the Bates Motel. Exhausted, lost, and at the end of her rope, she was eager for a hot shower and a bed for the night. Her room was musty but clean, and the manager seemed nice, if a little odd.
Norman Bates loves his mother. She has been dead for the past twenty years, or so people think. Norman knows better, though. He has lived with Mother ever since leaving the hospital in the old house up on the hill above the Bates Motel.
One night, Norman spies on a beautiful woman who has checked into the hotel. Norman can’t help but spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife.
This classic horror novel, which inspired the famous film by Alfred Hitchcock, has been thrilling people for more than fifty years. It introduced one of the most unexpectedly twisted villains of all time in Norman Bates, the reserved motel manager with a mother complex, and has been called the first psychoanalytic thriller.

Bøger er altid bedre end film. Jeg kan da godt forstå at Hitchcock gik hen og købte de fleste eksemplarer af bogen da han lavede filmen. Og denne klassiske gyserhistorie dør aldrig.

Ikke helt som filmen, men et godt uhyggeligt gys

Det er en ældre bog, en klassiker.Men de har holdt sig godt. Og selv om at den er langsom så er den spænde.

Fremragende oplæser! En klassiker! Det skrevne format er så meget mere detaljeret end filmen. På en måde er det også mere visuelt detaljeret, fordi selve beskrivelsen foregår langsommere end oplevelsen gør på film. Der flere aspekter af især hovedpersonen, som ikke er med på filmen, og som med nutidens øjne er interessante at tænke over.
