I learned something fun about my colleague Samantha Darby recently: She reads Rosemary’s Baby every year at Halloween. “It makes sense, right? What better time to read the horror novel that inspired tons of other scary books during this time period of American fiction?” she writes. There’s another layer to her tradition that I found really interesting, though! “But this time of year also makes me deeply nostalgic for the motherhood era I’m already in, and I can honestly feel that with Rosemary and her baby.” Allow her to explain. — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
