Though best known for Hitchcock's film adaptation, Psycho began as a novel. This reading from 1998 was originally broadcast after midnight in a slot known as 'The Late Book' (the same slot that had previously broadcast Emma Fieldings eerie reading of The Haunting of Hill House, which has also been uploaded to this channel). William Hope does a great job with it - and if you can't place him from his name, if you've ever seen the film 'Aliens', you'll know him best as the inexperienced but redemptively courageous officer, Lieutenant Gorman.

Gripping! The ordinariness of it all makes it even more frightening. Excellent narration.
Oh the book ...never read the book ...means even more scary ..goes deeper than the film.
My first book in my life. la primera vez lo lei en ingles hace mas de una decada. ahora lo voy a escuchar en ingles. por que estoy intentando aprender el idioma.
Excellently narrated!
This was brilliant.Narration was excellent.I kept seeing the film as the story unfolded.Unmissable.
Better than the movie.
=quickly scrubbing over the 1st 20m....=
sounds good on this side! only ever so mildly tinny and not as warm as the digital.
but I really doubt anyone would have noticed if you hadn't said anything, lol.
thank all y'all for your hard work and lovely choices.
Thank you - I've been trying to find things that are intriguing and unusual lately... though that's partly due to doing all of the obvious stories in the early days of the channel, of course..!
Gripping! Don't miss.
Agreed I really enjoyed it despite falling asleep over 20 times over the two nights and having to rewind through no fault of the drama lol
That's the paradox of good radio - sometimes you know it's good because it makes you fall asleep..!
This should be awesome!
