Review
''Perhaps the finest psychological horror writer . . . and never in finer form.'' --Stephen King
Praise for Blackstone's Psycho:
''Paul Garcia turns in a strong performance as the twisted villain. As Bates, Garcia can be childlike and simple or harsh and threatening--and just strange enough to keep you wondering . . . Garcia is top-notch.'' -- AudioFile
''Reader Paul Michael Garcia . . . will still make your hair stand on end when it counts. Good fun!'' --SoundCommentary.com
