Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse, an ordinary young couple, settle into a New York City apartment, unaware that the elderly neighbors and their bizarre group of friends have taken a disturbing interest in them. But by the time Rosemary discovers the horrifying truth, it may be far too late! An outstanding copy of this author's 2nd novel, basis for the brilliant movie by Roman Polanski, starting Mia Farrow.
While Truman Capote considered it in the tradition of the Henry James's Turn of the Screw, it marked a new level in the horror genre which can be traced to the Gothic novels of Charles Brockden Brown but moves from the haunted house to an upscale apartment on New York's Seventh Avenue.
