Rosemary's Baby

The Review:

This book is all about the buildup. Scream-inducing events do not appear out of nowhere. Rather, the suspense builds and builds as the story progresses until something terrifying occurs. Something that makes you shiver. Ira Levin did a fantastic job on this, and I admire his meticulous attention to detail.

I first saw the movie but couldn't understand what was going on because I was young, but I had nightmares about it until I read the book, and then my nightmares turned into sagas in which I was fighting hordes of demons all night. I know there are no visible demons in the movie or book, but reading gave me a complete picture of what was going on, which is why my imagination created those demons.

It is necessary to read this book in order to comprehend why it is so popular among horror fans. The author did an excellent job of establishing the atmosphere, and the ending will definitely creep you out.

It's a classic, but it doesn't feel like one, and I'd call it a timeless story. A quick read, even with so much suspense and creep factor; it's not boring or dragging, and you can finish it in one or two sittings.

This is a classic page-turner that will make you panic and worry so much for the main character that you will feel angry and want to do something about her and her child's safety. All of this panic-inducing writing is why this book is so highly rated, and I'm going to stop now because anything else might give away the information from the story, and I don't want to spoil anything for the readers, but if you want spoilers, check out the summary here: Rosemary's Baby Summary


Synopsis:

“A masterpiece of spellbinding suspense, where evil wears the most innocent face of all . . .

Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and mostly elderly residents. Neighbors Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome the Woodhouses to the building, and despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband takes a special shine to them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems . . .”

The Exorcist

The Exorcist

Published: June 1971

Author: William Peter Blatty

Book 1 of 2: The Exorcist Series

Genres: American, Classics, Demonic Possession, Demonology & Satanism, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Occult, Psychological

The Review:

The story revolves around a young girl who is the daughter of a well-known actress. In addition, there are two priests who are attempting to exorcise the demon from the young girl. The novel was adapted into a highly successful film two years later, with Peter Blatty writing and producing the screenplay, which was part of the Exorcist franchise.

This book will frighten you with its topic and the ideas it will offer you about religion, faith, and God, and why or how he allows innocent people to suffer, but you should decide for yourself while reading it.

It can be an easy read, unsettling, and vile at times, but it should not be read at night, especially before going to bed, because the images and words may form into nightmares and you may be unable to close your eyes.

One character in this book who reminded me of a TV detective Columbo was shocking, but I later realized that the book was written and published a long time ago, and this TV show came much later. Then I discovered that Peter Blatty had actually accused the show of extracting his character.

When I was four years old, I saw the movie adaptation and loved it. I watched it several times and realized that all the adults are afraid of the girl who was so funny to me and could turn her head like an owl. Later, I learned about a challenge and reward in my local cinema, which was to watch the movie alone at night in the cinema to win a large cash prize, and I asked my father to take me there, but he refused because I was too young to participate and told me about a man who died of a heart attack while trying to watch this movie.

I believe the book is scarier than the movie. While you cannot see a head turn in the book, what your mind and imagination create is far scarier than anything a movie could ever create.

Giving points or recommending this iconic novel is pointless, but I must give points for people who are unaware of what they are missing or only understand the language of numbers.


Synopsis:

“Originally published in 1971, The Exorcist is now a major television series on FOX. It remains one of the most controversial novels ever written and went on to become a literary phenomenon: It spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one. Inspired by a true story of a child’s demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying.

Two years after its publication, The Exorcist was, of course, turned into a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. On opening day of the film, lines of the novel’s fans stretched around city blocks. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. The three major television networks carried footage of these events; CBS’s Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a true landmark.

Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist still has the extraordinary ability to disturb readers and cause them to forget that it is “just a story.” Published here in this beautiful fortieth anniversary edition, it remains an unforgettable reading experience and will continue to shock and frighten a new generation of readers.”

The Amityville Horror

Published: 13, September 1977

Author: Jay Anson

Genres: Demonology & Satanism, Fiction, Ghosts & Hauntings, Horror, Literature, Religious Cults, Supernaturalism, True Crime

Check the summary of this book here:


It's one of the scariest books I've ever read. The book is said to be based on the Lutz family's paranormal experiences, but it has sparked controversy over its factual accuracy.

This is one of my all-time favorite horror books, and I challenge anyone to read it alone in a house that looks and feels exactly like the one described in the book. I know some readers, like myself, can do it, but not everyone can, and I'm sure many readers will stop reading before they get to the middle of the book. Only two books come close in terms of terror, one is "The Secret of Crickley Hall" and I can't recall the title of second right now. (As soon as I confirm the name, I'll add the name and review.) The reason I said readers like me can read it is that we have become immune to the horror as a result of our constant exposure to it.

Much of what has been said about this house is true, and one of the real individuals involved died in prison in March 2021. I'm not sure if everything was true, but reading about real people who died as a result of their involvement with this house and the manner in which they died is a little creepy.

Although both adaptations, the original and remake of the book are entertaining, I believe the book comes out on top when it comes to injecting liquid ice into your body and making your hair stand on end. However, you can watch the movies and read the book in any order you want. Both the original and remake versions were different, but they both perfectly captured the book's creepy and scary elements.

The only issue I had with this book was the way the author lengthened it by including details that were not necessary in my opinion, but this could be due to his writing style. Aside from that, it's a fantastically chilling and entertaining read.


Synopsis:

“A fascinating and frightening book” (Los Angeles Times)—the bestselling true story about a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe.

In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property—complete with boathouse and swimming pool—and the price had been too good to pass up.

Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror.

This is the spellbinding, shocking true story that gripped the nation about an American dream that turned into a nightmare beyond imagining—“this book will scare the hell out of you” (Kansas City Star).”
