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.
