Described by Truman Capote as a “darkly brillian tale of modern deviltry… that induces the reader to believe the unbelievable,” Rosemary’s Baby was both a critical and a popular success when it first appeared in 1967. And in his introduction to this exclusive Stephen King Horror Library edition, King discusses Levin’s skill as “the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel,” and expresses his utter admiration for the way the novel takes urban paranoia to the next level – sheer terror.
Ships promptly in a corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
