Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin

Son of Rosemary by Ira Levin

Rosemary’s Baby – 4/5 Stars I really liked this book, which the movie is an incredibly faithful adaptation. I won’t get into the movie much, but apparently Polanski had never adapted a novel before and basically took no liberties in the screenplay, so this book is really well represented on screen. We begin with Rosemary, married to an actor ten years her senior, finding out that despite having just signed a new lease, she’s being offered an apartment in a building she’s always had her […]

still in the mood for thrillers

April 19, 2018 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

Still in the mood for thrillers. Here are some recent reads: And Then There Were None, 1939, by Agatha Christie This one is unlikely to be reimagined by Kenneth Branagh, but you never know. And Then There Were None is one of Christie’s grimmest, and most famous tales. Due to its original title, it is also one of her most controversial. Christie loved to use nursery rhyme references in her book titles, and this book actually incorporates an entire rhyme in the book as a twisted […]

Down the Rabbit Hole with Ira Levin

March 31, 2018 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

My latest writing project is of a spooky nature, so I thought I might get a little inspiration from one of my favorite horror movies, Rosemary’s Baby. It didn’t disappoint and holds up after many viewings. Mia Farrow is having a tough trimester in Rosemary’s Baby After the umpteenth time of watching poor Mia Farrow find out what was really behind her linen closet, I got to wondering about the source material. A trip to the library resulted in a bag full of Ira Levin thrillers: Rosemary’s […]
