«Le temps mort» is the suspense and mystery novel by Robert Bloch, published by Nouvelles Éditions Oswald in paperback (215 pages, in French).
A young delinquent kills driven by a deep psychic imbalance; like Norman Bates in Psycho, he embodies the typical unease of Robert Bloch. The novel presents the case as a symptom of an era in which youth begins to be an object of worship while adults and elders are defeated.

For those who enjoy psychological suspense and classic American horror, especially followers of Robert Bloch.
Robert Albert Bloch was an American fiction writer, primarily of crime, psychological horror, and fantasy, much of which has been dramatized for radio, cinema and television. He also wrote a relatively small amount of science fiction. His writing career lasted 60 years, including more than 30 years in television and film. He began his professional writing career immediately after graduation from high school, aged 17. He is best known as the writer of the novel Psycho (1959), the basis for the 1960 film Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 30 novels. He was a protégé of H. P. Lovecraft, who was the first to seriously encourage his talent. However, while he started emulating Lovecraft and his brand of cosmic horror, he later specialized in crime and horror stories, often emphasizing psychological aspects of the characters within.
