The dark dudes over at Anything Horror ran a flash fiction challenge centered around Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. I took a stab at it. We spent some time with Norman as he decided “I Have To Get Rid of Mother“.

As we know, things didn’t turn out so swell for Norman, but I landed Third Place in the challenge. I’ll be getting a Stolen From The Bates Motel T-shirt from the hip outfit over at T-shirt Bordello.

If you’re a Psycho fan and not among the faint of heart – two things that don’t exactly winnow down the list – have a glance at my entry and enjoy the site some. Anything Horror does a bang up job when it comes to non-contest-related horror too.

And if the story leaves a mark, feel free to make your mark down in my Comment field here, too.
