Danse Macabre: Psycho

Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Ana Marie Cox check into Bates Motel on a rainy night to discuss Robert Bloch's Psycho, the 1959 best-selling novel that Alfred Hitchcock turned iconic the following year for Universal Pictures. Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, we've catalogued Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Peter Straub's Ghost Story, and Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror.
