Robert Bloch




Robert Albert Bloch (April 5 1917 - September 23 1994) was a prolific author
in the science fiction, horror fiction, and pulp fiction genres, and
screenwriter. He was the recipient of the Hugo Award, the Bram Stoker Award,
and the World Fantasy Award.

Robert Bloch was also a major contributor to science fiction fanzines and
fandom in general.

He was a friend and correspondent with H. P. Lovecraft, and was the author
of a number of stories that were set in, and extended, the world of the
Cthulhu Mythos. Bloch even appears, thinly disguised, as the character
"Robert Blake" in Lovecraft's story The Haunter of the Dark.

He became famous as the author of the novel Psycho, which was made into the
film of the same name, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

His autobiography entitled Once Around the Bloch (ISBN 0-312-85373-4) was
published in 1993.
