You haven't read anything until you have read "Norman's Revenge". Psycho touched on the subject. Bates Motel was delicate. In Norman's Revenge this is a story of lust, love, betrayal murder and revenge. Nobody knew what happened to Norman to make him so psycho now you can find out for yourself,
The story starts with Norma in the hospital having her baby boy which is a result of her father raping her repeatedly. Norma's father is a drunk and he killed Norma's mother and he got away with it.
When Norma comes home from the hospital her father rapes her again resulting in a second pregnancy. Out of madness Norma kills her father and burns his dead body to ashes. Now she takes over the hotel free and clear. Norman grows up wanting to satisfy his mother's every need and does just that. She can't get enough of him and he can't get enough of her. He's quiet and soft spoken though, quite the opposite of his loud-mouthed, demanding mother. Norman's little brother Nick is also quiet.
Norma meets a man and starts to ignore Norman. That's when all hell breaks loose. You don't want to miss what happens next. We all know that Norman poisoned his mother and her boyfriend. But what happened that led up to Norman killing his mother and storing her dead body in the basement. It's in the book.
Norman's mother turned him into a Psycho by forcing Norman to be her lover all thru his childhood and treating him like he was not important. All Norman wanted to do was please his mother.
When Norma begins to ignore Norman after falling in love with another man this drives Norman over the edge.
Now is the time for Norman to let people know he's not a pushover. Now is the time for Norman to prove he is not what his mother turned out to be or tried to turn him into and get everybody back for betraying him. Now is the time for Norman's to get REVENGE!!!!
