Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor-husband, Guy, move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and only elderly residents. Neighbours Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome them; despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband starts spending time with them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems.

Novembre 1999. Rosemary Woodhouse se réveille dans une clinique d'un coma long de 27 ans. Et se rend vite compte que ce monde inconnu qui se révèle à elle est en admiration idolâtre devant un jeune homme d'apparence christique, enfant chéri des médias, dont la parole bienveillante a converti des millions de fidèles.
Andy, la chair de sa chair... Mère et fils se rencontrent enfin, apprennent à se connaître. Rosemary, rassurée, découvre que ce charismatique fils prodigue, au lieu d'être l'instrument docile de la volonté de son père, veut symboliquement sceller la réconciliation de tous les hommes à l'orée du troisième millénaire.
Mais ce nouveau Sauveur autoproclamé n'est-il pas un peu trop angélique ?

'Marvellously entertaining. A cross between Brave New World and Doctor Who .' Look Magazine Considered one of the greatest dystopian thrillers ever written, Ira Levin's terrifying glimpse into the future continues to fascinate readers forty years after its initial publication. Set in a seemingly perfect global society, where uniformity is the defining feature, one man leads the resistance against UniComp - a central computer that has been programmed to keep every single human on the surface of the earth in check. All ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into a single race called 'The Family', and citizens are continually drugged so that they can never realise their potential as human beings, but will remain pliant and cooperative... With a vision as frightening as any in the history of the science fiction genre, This Perfect Day is one of Levin's most haunting novels.

Sliver is a sinuous, erotic thriller that explores the menacing evil behind the glittering façade of Manhattan's skyscrapers; a hypnotic story of obsession and the temptation of ultimate power.

The women of Stepford are not all that they seem... All the beautiful people live in idyllic Stepford, Connecticut, an affluent, suburban Eden populated with successful, satisfied hubbies and beautiful, dutiful wives. For Joanna Eberhart, newly arrived with her husband and two children, it all seems too good to be true - from the sweet Welcome Wagon lady to all those cheerful, friendly faces in the supermarket checkout lines. But just beneath the town's flawless surface, something is sordid and wrong - something abominable with roots in the local Men's Association. And it may already be too late for Joanna to save herself from being devoured by Stepford's hideous perfection.
