The novel "Rosemary's Baby"
"Rosemary's Baby" was a best selling horror novel in 1967, and one of the top 10 best sellers of the year. Major elements of the story were inspired by the publicity surrounding the Church of Satan of Anton LaVey, which was founded in 1966. The novel centers on Rosemary, an anxious, pregnant stay-at-home mother. As the novel progresses, she comes to believe she is carrying the child of Satan.
