Summary
 Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor-husband, Guy, move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and only elderly residents. Neighbours Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome them; despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband starts spending time with them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare.

As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems.©1967 Ira Levin Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Horror Literary Fiction Supernatural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Marriage

Critic Reviews

A darkly brilliant tale of modern devilry that induces the reader to believe the unbelievable. I believed it and was altogether enthralled
A terrifying book: I can think of no other in which fear of an evil strikes with greater chill
Suspense is beautifully intertwined with everyday incidents; the delicate line between belief and disbelief is faultlessly drawn

Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this book . I was tuned in from the early chapters and it only increased as the book went on . Written in a way where time just passes by as it’s going and next thing you know you’ve completed 8 chapters . A good contrast of characters and a storyline line that leaves you constantly wondering I can’t fault it and am looking forward to now watching the movie .

eerily creepy with dark and disturbing undertones, despite an easy going and accessible facade of a happily married couple building a family together. moves at a great pace with not one unnecessary paragraph. can definitely see why this was made into a memorable film.

immediately engaging and original.
