The story revolves around Rosemary Woodhouse and her husband Guy, who move into the historic and eerie Bramford apartment building in New York City.

As Rosemary becomes pregnant, she begins to suspect that her neighbors, the Castevets, and her husband are involved in a Satanic cult that intends to use her baby for sinister purposes.

The book is praised for its masterful blend of psychological suspense and horror, setting the stage for the modern horror genre.
