Wow! I was three years old when the book came out. I was nine years old when the movie came out. I just remember hearing about it at that age and being scared of the movie. I never watched it. I will now. Man, what a page-turner! And I listened to Mia Farrow (Rosemary in the movie) narrate the book! It was so great. I was shocked when I read the reviews of one star on Goodreads. It is such a classic.
I will say that weird things like this DO GO ON! I cannot say I have heard of a baby being born of an intimate relationship with Satan, but many children are subject to Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). I work with many survivors. It is sick. It goes on in surprising circles.
Read about the "curse" on the film.
The book begins with the most innocent of premises: A young Manhattan couple moves into a larger apartment as they get ready to start a family. Rosemary becomes pregnant just as her husband, a struggling actor, finally lands a Broadway role while becoming devoted to the eccentric elderly couple next door, who take Rosemary under their wing. Initial uneasiness at their ministrations turns into a growing suspicion of their motives, and Rosemary begins to imagine all sorts of dark doings. Or is she imagining them? The suspense ratchets up as what she expects while she’s expecting takes a diabolical turn—proving, of course, that just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you. The devil is in the details.
