Robert Bloch's classic first novel, the precursor to Psycho, a chilling look into the mind of a serial killer
Dan Morley is an aspiring novelist who is well liked by everybody, but most of all by women. But nobody knows that he struggles with a dark and forbidden urge, an irresistible impulse to kill. And when the lust for murder comes over him and he twists his scarf around his victim's neck, there is no escape ...
Robert Bloch's first novel The Scarf (1947), a noir psychological thriller, is a clear precursor to his more famous serial killer novel, Psycho (1959). This edition, the first in many years, includes a new introduction by Garyn G. Roberts.
