Robert Bloch - More than Psycho

[Jason Aiken]

We're overdue for a Robert Bloch thread I think and it just so happens this weekend at PulpFest 2017, the convention will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Robert Bloch (born 1917).

On Friday July 28th there will be two panels dedicated to Robert Bloch: www.pulpfest.com/2017/01/coming-soon-pittsburgh-pulpfest-2017/

7:30 – 7:50 PM — Philip José Farmer and Robert Bloch (Mike Croteau of Meteor House)
7:50 – 8:00 PM — Intermission
8:00 – 8:40 PM — 100 Years with the Author of Psycho: Robert Bloch (Garyn Roberts)

Should be very interesting.


Here's one of my first Pulp Crazy videos (so pardon the shitty microphone) dedicated to Bloch's "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper."

Totally agree! His early Lovecraftian stories are great fun and YTJTR is one of the earliest horror stories I read. I think the guys at the HPL Literary Podcast did a whole month on Bloch, worth checking out

He also wrote at least one episode of the original 1960's Star Trek, if memory serves me correctly.
