As someone who's lived through it, I love stories that involve gaslighting as it adds to the tension and discomfort. And I wanted to scream at some of the obstacles Rosemary encountered. In those early chapters, I wasn't too sure how I would feel about her, but I came to love her character arc. I've also noticed recently that I tend to be more drawn to domestic horror stories. There's something delightfully unsettling about home life gone wrong, and situations that should be safe and comforting, but are not.
Can't wait to watch the movie now!

- Levin's style never disappoints me
- Engaging and well-paced
Cons:
- Storyline is very similar to Stepford Wives but with
Satan worshippers instead of robots - Pulanski's film is pretty much a shot-for-shot equivalent, which is not Levin's fault (actually it's pretty impressive), but there weren't many surprises
