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 Review:

The book that will give you nightmares and make you jumpy from the first page and will haunt you long after you've finished it. Even the king admitted that, of all the horror novels he had written, this one terrified him the most.

I first saw the movie adaptation of this book, then read the book a few years later, and I was shocked to my core; the movie was scary, but the book is unrivaled; I am confident that it can scare even an adult to the same degree that it can scare a child.

When I have to say things like "Stephen King is an incredible storyteller" or "he is the master of his craft," I sometimes feel like a broken record. Because he has so many books, almost all of which are fantastic. Perhaps I'll save this paragraph and use it in all of my future reviews of his books.

One of the most recommended books and scary as well, just don’t forget, it is better not to read it at night especially before going to bed because I have noticed a pattern of nightmares in almost everyone who reads it before sleeping.

The book touches a deep chord in the reader’s heart by asking and doing something painful, then gives a solution but the solution is so scary and gives you a choice to think if it is ethical or unethical. When I first watched the adaptation of this book,

I really wanted to do the unethical and later when I read the book, I still wanted to do the unethical because I believe one person's ethics may be another’s unethical and vise versa. Like a martyr can be a hero to one country or religion but to the other, he may be a terrorist, so we can’t decide which is which and what is wrong and what is correct for everyone. Plus I love when death is defeated in any form, even Frankenstein’s monster was to me a success and win over death.

The novel is going to grab your windpipe in the last hundred or so pages so be advised and don’t read it when you are alone.


Synopsis:

“Now a major motion picture! Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller is a “wild, powerful, disturbing” (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the grave—among King’s most iconic and frightening novels.

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow’s tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed’s beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing…as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better…”

Legion

Legion

Published: 1983

Author: William Peter Blatty

Book 2 of 2: The Exorcist Series

Genres: American, Classics, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Mysteries, Occult, Police Procedural, Psychological, Supernatural


Check the summary of this book here:



The Review:

This book, like its predecessor The Exorcist, deals with demonic possession, and if you know the story behind the title, it may make your hair stand on end because the title is based on a Bible passage about demons.

The Gospel of Luke depicts Jesus' journey to Gadarenes, where he meets a man who is possessed by demons:
"What is your name?" Jesus inquired of him. "Legion," he murmured, for many devils had entered him (Luke 8:30).

The event, also referred to as the Gerasene Demoniac, is more commonly quoted from Mark's Gospel:
"What is thy name?" he inquired. "My name is Legion," he said, "for we are many." Mark 5:9

If you don't like crazy ramblings or plots that go nowhere, the beginning of the book may discourage some readers from continuing to read, but don't stop because all that rambling has something hidden in it and once the story begins properly, it will not stop.

The novel is frightening, but I found it to be much more philosophical. The movie, on the other hand, is scarier, but it is still no match for the book.

This book is both amusing and heartbreaking. It will make you cry and leave you speechless. Late William Peter Blatty was a fantastic author with a depth of thought and philosophy that was evident in his books.

The story is scary, and it is a horror novel, but it is not your typical horror story; I call it a thinking man's horror, and even though it begins slowly, and some readers may not like it, I am still giving it full marks and highly recommending it.


Synopsis:

“From the author of The Exorcist -- Legion, a classic tale of horror, is back in print!

A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation?

Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between these crimes and another series of murders that took place twelve years ago—and supposedly ended with the death of the killer?

Legion is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition.

The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcist—William Peter Blatty.”
