💀 okay WHAT! I wanted a creepy October book but this really took the cake 🥴 
▪️alternate name for this novel could be “Husband from Hell”.
▫️First heard of this book from watching Gilmore Girls:
Rory (after being startled by Dean): God! You’re like Ruth Gordon just standing there with a tannis root. Make a noise.
Dean: Rosemary’s Baby?
Rory: yeah. 
Dean: well that’s a great movie. You’ve got good taste. 
▪️if you haven’t heard about it; it’s about a young couple who move into a new building and become friendly with their elderly neighbors. Guy, the young husband, suddenly changes his mind about having a baby and Rosemary is thrilled. The creepy old neighbor comes and delivers some special chocolate mousses for dessert and when Rosemary says it tastes weird and she doesn’t want it; Guy is toxic AF and guilts her into finishing every drop. She passes out soon after and has a horrific “nightmare” where she’s being raped while her husband and neighbors all watch naked and chant satanic verses 🫠 
▫️throughout the last few chapters I just wanted to finish because I felt so scared and creeped out by the constant chants to satan and the horrible way they speak about God. Definitely a good spooky read if you can take sacrilege and also since it’s a considered a classic by many I’m glad I finally know what it’s all about.
▪️Moral of the story: if your chocolate mousse tastes weird and your husband tries to guilt you into eating it - RUN.
