I recently bought the book Psycho for my daughter as she is interested in psychological thrillers.I read the book when I was in school and it still continues to fascinate me.It is indeed a work of a genius which inspired the master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock to make one of his most famous and most watched films ever.I would like to advise all young readers to read the book first.I have heard that it is based on the life of American serial killer Ed Gein.
