I knew better. I really did. But I wanted to read this "horror classic" anyway and thought I could get over it.

I'm not sorry that I am so over "witches and witchcraft are evil. Pagans are devil-worshipers in league with actual Satan". I'm pagan. I've experienced first hand how we are still discriminated against and hated to this day. All the awful stereotypes and misinformation thanks to media. "Product of it's time" doesn't work when we still have that discrimination going on in this day and a ...more

This book was simply fantastic! Great scary read for Halloween that gave me the creeps throughout. Most everyone has probably read this great classic, so I won't go into the details of what it was about. I will say it had a lot of surprises for me and kept me on the edge of my seat, so I can see why it turned into a classic horror movie as well. Just beware if you hear some strange chanting in or near your abode. Make sure you know you're neighbors, let alone you're own husband and always keep a ...more

Can there BE spoilers with a book this old? Well, this book was UNEVEN, to say the least. In the beginning, (for far too long) the book centered upon Rosemary and Guy, a perfect married couple and their new apartment and the frivolous discussions of decorating of said apartment....I felt like I was reading a decor magazine! Annoying. Rosemary HERSELF was annoying for about 80% of the book as well. Finally, we're introduced to her neighbours, the nicest, most cliched New-Yorker Satan worshipers e ...more

This book is the original horror novel, written in the 60s, before horror became a thing. It starts out ordinarily enough with a young couple, Rosemary and Guy, who have an opportunity to move into a historic apartment building. They manage to get out of the lease they signed and take up residence in the historic Bram, which they found out from a friend has a less than ideal history. When they meet one of the older couples that reside there, strange things start happening in their life.
