Kidnapper

Rating:
Summary: BETTER THAN PSYCHO
Review: Of all the tales Robert Bloch told this is the one that reportedly disturbed him the most. It is the darkest, nastiest look into the human heart of darkness that a person seems capable of. The fact that Bloch gives the narrator such a breezy and funny voice (an RB trademark) only increases the horrific gut punch this novel delivers. Robert Bloch was a master, this book shows you why.
