I wish I knew what it was like to read this book back when it was released, before “Stepford Wife” became part of the modern zeitgeist and everyone found out what the twist was.

2005: #14 – Rosemary’s Baby (Ira Levin)

Book #14 was the incredible Rosemary’s Baby, by Ira Levin. Like most people, I at least knew the basic premise behind Rosemary’s Baby, but I had never read the book or even seen the movie. “Disquieting” is perhaps the perfect word to describe this book. There is just this subtle thread of dread throughout the entire story that is amazing. I highly, highly recommend it.
