I often feel that Bloch can get into the psychopathic mind so
well (THE SCARF, PSYCHO, THE DEAD BEAT) because he knew his
Lovecraft and knew how elaborate and threatening paranoid
fantasy worlds can be. Like Ramsey Campbell, his characters
don't kill because they're evil, they kill because they're
driven to it by forces of which the rest of us are not
aware.
