Publisher Description

The classic novel of spellbinding suspense only the mind of Ira Levin could have imagined

She is a housewife—young, healthy, blissfully happy. He is an actor—charismatic and ambitious. The spacious, sin-filled apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side is their dream home—a dream that turns into an unspeakable nightmare...

Enter the chilling world of Ira Levin—where terror is as near as your new neighbors... and where evil wears the most innocent face of all...

"The author was not an amazing writer, but it's passable enough to keep you turning the pages. It's not just a horror story about a woman carrying Satan's son but a look at a unique period in time when this was a real fear among people. I also loved the snapshot of life in New York in the 60s."

    " The book is suspenseful and good at points, but some of Rosemary's decisions are naive and not very believable especially as they occur in the dog eat dog world of new york city, which mars the overall force of the book. As if someone is going to wear a horrible smelling 'lucky charm' as a necklace, and drink some mystery herbal shake for months from some odd neighbors that live up stairs. Stuff like that. Actually the baby is more believable. "

    " Just finished Rosemary's Baby. the book just gives me the chills...the struggle between a mothers instinctive love for their baby...and knowing that that baby is Satan's son. It really scares me that I fell asleep on the book yesterday morning. :/ "

    " Wow. A whole lot of development for not a lot of horror. The lights do not need to be left on. It will be fine. There is no actual hero/heroine, so maybe that's the horror of it all. "

    " Lots of creepy fun. And you can't say that Ira Levin doesn't give you any clues. For those who've seen the movie or know the plot, they are staring you in the face. But it's great for the rare unknowing reader who stumbles upon the book. "

    " Even better--certainly funnier--than The Stepford Wives. And, similarly, even though I've already seen the movie (and who doesn't know what's really wrong with Rosemary's little Andrew-or-Susan?), the suspense was there. "
