Abstract:

The collection contains the letters of science fiction novelist Robert Bloch, best known for his 1959 book Psycho. The letters, written to Vernon Shea and Bruce Walker, are of a personal nature, although they contain a good deal of information on the science fiction writing community of the time, particularly the writings of Harlan Ellison, Phillip Jose Farmer, H. P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, and other of Bloch's works. Included is a short screenplay by Vernon Shea and Bloch's critique.
