I’m proud to announce the release of Robert Bloch: An Unconventional Bibliography--the most comprehensive documentation of Bloch’s vast oeuvre: novels, collections, radio, film, television, non-fiction, fanzine contributions…and more to date. Note: This is not a biography.

Full disclosure: So that a potential reader doesn't feel misled, I need to dispel any assumption that this is a typical academic bibliography. It is not. While the publication history for Bloch's works is here, it is primarily the format in which said information is presented that differs from a conventional bibliography. Thus, unconventional.

Additionally, the book contains four appendices, which::

Document original foreign editions of Bloch story collections
Examine the origins of PSYCHO, both novel and film
Examine Bloch's body of work involving H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos
Provide a critical analysis tracing the progression of Bloch’s fictional protagonists prior to PSYCHO that eventually led to his ultimate anti-hero, Norman Bates.

And, unlike other bibliographies, Unconventional additionally contains Bloch's observations and remembrances on a great many of his works.

 Unholy Trinity - three drabbles

I am today's highlight by Horror Tree in their "Unholy Trinity" series - three drabbles ("Dracula's Castle," "Hotep-Seth," and "Nothing Under the Bed") linked in some way. Here, in my case, by humor.

A drabble is a short, short, short story of exactly 100 words. Think that sounds easy? Try it!
