Once Around the Bloch

An Unauthorized Autobiography

by Robert Bloch

Tor, A Tom Doherty Associates Book, New York. June 1993. Hardcover in dust jacket. 416 pages. (5¾ X 8½). Bloch tells the story of his life and writings. Bloch was one of the great humorists of the field, with many funny items in the fan and professional press. He did quite a bit of film and television writing in the 1960s and 1970s. Bloch was the author of the book Psycho, and this fact was always used on his future books. The books always seemed to say, “by the author of Psycho.” There are a number of photos in this book and it appears that Bloch did the captions. Recommended for anyone with a sense of macabre humor.
