The brainchild of Ghostbusters co-writers Keith Dallas and Jim Beard, Riptide Sanitarium is a multi-genre anthology of self-contained stories: horror, science fiction, historical drama, fantasy, crime. Personally I found Psych -Sanitarium to be a very a dark and chilling read, and thanks to Chet Williamson’s very descriptive writing it was fairly easy to conjure up images of the mental asylum, the madness that surrounded it, as well as the evil that lurked inside the walls. I hold my hands up and admit I have never read Psycho (I’ve watched the film numerous times, but I never got around to reading the book), so I am not in a position to compare the two books. I couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Norman, as he struggles with the voice of his “mother” inside his head, he appeared vulnerable and timid, but unfortunately there are many sides to Norman and the author manages to describe the psyche of his character with such conviction that by the end of the book I was terrified! This book also explores the treatment of the insane, which makes for a dark and uncomfortable read at times (some of the treatments were barbaric to say the least). As anyone who has read or watched Psycho knows Norman is a very complex character to say the least, and Chett Williamson manages to portray his character very effectively. Psycho-Sanitarium is an intense psychological thriller of murder and deranged madness, which gripped me from the first introduction to Norman Bates and his infamous “mother”. As Robert and Norman grow to know each other, Norman senses a darkness in Robert, perhaps even deeper than that which has lurked in Norman himself. Soon Bates is joined by Robert Newman, Norman’s twin brother, taken away at birth after a doctor pronounced him brain damaged. Felix Reed to bring him out of his catatonic state. It’s 1960 Norman Bates is in the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and it’s up to Dr. But what happened in that asylum during those two decades? This is where Chet Williamson took up the story and wrote Psycho: Sanitarium Norman Bates’s terrifying story has been seared in the public consciousness ever since.It took Bloch 23 years to write another Psycho novel, revealing that Norman had been in a mental institution the entire time. The original Psycho novel by Robert Bloch was published in 1959 and became an instant hit, leading to the classic Alfred Hitchcock film a year later.
