Description

'The Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel' — Stephen King

Rosemary's Baby follows the story of Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor-husband, Guy, who move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with a notorious reputation and predominantly elderly residents.

Their neighbours, Roman and Minnie Castavet, quickly become a presence in their lives. Despite Rosemary's initial reservations about the couple’s eccentricities and the strange noises she hears, Guy begins to spend more time with them.

Soon after, Guy lands a coveted Broadway role, and Rosemary discovers she is pregnant. The Castavets take a keen interest in Rosemary’s pregnancy, which raises her suspicions.

As Rosemary's pregnancy progresses, she becomes increasingly isolated and begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it appears to be...
