But her perfect home quickly turns hellish.   The building is filled with a cast of sinister tenants, including a reclusive blind priest, who seems to watch her day and night through an upstairs window. Eventually, Allison starts hearing strange noises from the empty apartment above hers. Before long, she uncovers the building's demonic secret and is plunged into a nightmare of sinful misdeeds and boundless evil.   In the tradition of Rosemary's Baby, this gripping novel was adapted into a feature film starring Ava Gardner, Cristina Raines, and Chris Sarandon.

    jseger9000: The stories are quite different, but the books share similar themes. Both books are '70's religious shockers about a young woman moving into a new apartment, set in New York.

This was exactly what I expected it to be, slightly dated, catholic-themed horror.
  Deni_Weeks | Sep 16, 2023 |
This is a classic horror that I missed out on the first time around because I never knew it was a book. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid or bits of it anyway but I didn't realize it was adapted from a book.

A model with a dark past moves into a great apartment with affordable rent. All is well until she meets her neighbors!

Some of the language is a bit dated but the story itself stands up to the test of time.

I would rate it 4 of 5 stars.

I received a complimentary copy for review. ( )

The whole time I was reading this book, I was just waiting for things to start making sense; that "aha!" moment if you will, and I felt I was never fully able to understand why or how certain things were happening and how they tied into the story. I will say, however, that parts of it creeped me out very much, so I enjoyed that. Allison's fear towards the end when she hid in her closet was palpable; I really felt her desperation, and the descriptions of it were impressive. ( )

Dated, 1970s evil makes me cough dust. Cool spitting cat though. ( )
  habeus | Jul 24, 2020 |
I was very disappointed in this book. After reading good reviews and having this suggested to me on several blogs, I was left underwhelmed. The build up of suspense and the atmosphere started off strong, but seemed to take a cliff dive as I progressed toward the end, when I was hoping to make some mindbending revelation. Would not recommend ( )
