Sinossi
Guy e Rosemary Woodhouse sono una giovane coppia di sposi. Lui è un attore, in attesa della sua grande occasione; lei sogna una normalità borghese fatta di sicurezza economica, una bella casa, tanti figli. Dopo lunghe ricerche hanno trovato un appartamento nel Bramford - uno storico palazzo nel cuore di Manhattan, circondato da un alone di prestigio sociale ma anche da sinistre leggende - e di lì a poco la loro vita sembra arrivare a una svolta: Guy ottiene una parte in un'importante commedia e Rosemary resta finalmente incinta del primo figlio. Ma non tutto è destinato ad andare per il verso giusto. La gravidanza di Rosemary viene turbata da premonizioni e incubi notturni, da inspiegabili dolori addominali e strani incontri, e soprattutto dall'invadenza di due vicini, troppo premurosi per non risultare sospetti... Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1967 e portato sul grande schermo da Roman Polanski, con Mia Farrow nel ruolo della protagonista, "Rosemary's Baby" è una delle grandi storie di mistero della nostra epoca, ma anche una godibilissima commedia che, dopo aver fatto entrare il Male nelle nostre case, ci aiuta a esorcizzarlo con la grazia di un semplice sorriso.

I first read this when I was about thirteen/fourteen and don't remember that reading at all. I then watched the movie when I was about eighteen/nineteen, which I remember better and didn't really like. Bit too weird for me. Third time lucky, I guess. I thought this was a great read in 2022. Super easy Leggi tutto
”She opened her eyes and looked into yellow furnace-eyes, smelled sulphur and tannis root, felt wet breath on her mouth, heard lust-grunts and the breathing of onlookers.” Nightmare? Passionate dream? Real? How could it be real? It can’t possibly be real. Rosemary Woodhouse wants a baby. She is m Leggi tutto
The very rare case of a slow moving, nevertheless suspenseful soft horror novel mainly using characterization and worsening foreshadowing to thrill the reader. This one really stays in mind because of the end nobody would suspect and an accelerating thrill and feeling of discomfort I´ve hardly ever s Leggi tutto
Having Satan's demon baby was a frightening thought when I was younger. Now, quite frankly, the most terrifying thing I can think of would be giving birth to a mid-life oops baby. But to be fair, Rosemary's ovaries aren't trying to cough out some leftover egg that will ruin her retirement plans. No, Leggi tutto
I knew from a young age that I probably didn't have the maternal instinct that is necessary to raise a child. I hated dolls- they creeped me out, and instead of dressing up the ones I was given as gifts- the dolls sat in the corner in various stages of undress- while I wheeled my cat whiskers around Leggi tutto
"She didn’t know if she was going mad or going sane…" Well, this classic horror novel certainly hit the spot this month! You simply can’t go wrong with pure and ‘simple,’ subtle fright for some pre-Halloween entertainment. This is a book very firmly set in the period of 1966 New York City, yet it nev Leggi tutto
“What have you done to his eyes?!” Rosemary’s Baby has shot up into my top 5 fiction reads of 2020 (only 50-odd years after its release)! Given that I’m such a fan of the movie and after hearing that the two are incredibly similar, I didn’t expect the book to feel so fresh and be THAT enjoyable, but Leggi tutto
