Robert Bloch

Yeah.

"And this is just you revisiting these things." A couple twists at the end that I appreciated, and, um, something else I left out though, all written by Robert Bloch-

Oh, wow

...

This was directed by Richard Franklin.

This was written by Tom Holland and also Robert Bloch.

Spider-Man! Written

by Spider-Man himself.

And I started, just discovered the guitar, started staying away from school 'cause I couldn't face going to school.

Um, but, you know, instead of playing video games and getting stoned, which wasn't available to me at that point, um, I was reading, um, Robert Bloch and August Derleth and great writers 'cause I loved horror, and, uh, playing the guitar, and that was my education, really.

After, once I learned to read and write, you know, that was what I w- took out of school.

Where were you living?

The cover and some interstitial art were done by darling of black and white illustration John Cobb.

And this one really foregrounds the contributions therein by Harlan Ellison and Robert Bloch, which makes sense given their kind of luminary status.

The book is actually dedicated to Robert Bloch, who passed away shortly before it was published.

His story was his final publication, The Scent of Vinegar, and that won the Bram Stoker Award that year.

And then Dark Destiny 2 contains 20 stories over about 450 pages.

I love all those.

I mean, Robert Black is one of my favorites.

I think we talked before about Richard Matheson.

You have a story in here that has to mean a little bit of Matheson.

It was a sustaining NBC broadcast without a commercial sponsor.

George Lefferts adapted Robert Bloch's 1943 Fantastic Adventures story, originally published under the pseudonym Tarleton Fisk.

Edward King directed, Van Woodward produced, and the cast includes Santos Ortega, Rita Lynn, Jack Grimes, and Norman Rose.

Now, back to the golden age of radio.

I love you.

And strangely enough, it did sound almost human.

You have just heard the Robert Bloch story titled...

Almost Human.

Dorothy Hughes and Jim Thompson.

You have Robert Bloch's Psycho.

You also have Richard Wright's multiple novels about criminals that are kind of focused on making the main character a criminal and a criminal that's like not necessarily easy to like in a kind of Robin Hood way, though I think that those writers thought that we could identify with them.

And so...
