Těsně před otevřením zde ale přibývá jeden neplánovaný exponát navíc. Zkrvavená mrtvola mladé dívky.

Claiborne ale ví, že Norman míří do Hollywoodu, kde se právě natáčí film o tom, co se kdysi odehrálo v Batesově motelu.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. “This Crowded Earth” is the first novel, penned by the author of “Psycho,” Robert Bloch. It deals with a future Earth where there are just too damned many people—and all of the problems that go along with it.

In fact, Bigboss was sure there was no other living creature that was superior to him in any way. Yet a constant nagging deep in his robotic memory drums hinted of something different. It was a fleeting memory of the far-off world from which he came. A world where creatures lived that might actually challenge his rule. Little did he know that a spaceship filled with those creatures was hurtling towards him through the void. Living creatures of flesh and blood…
