But Rosemary's Baby is on their side too; the witches win, Rosemary accepts Satan's spawn as her son, and Polanski's careful dating of 1966 as the year One (the black calendar beginning with the birth of the son of Satan) suggests that 1968 is the year Three, that all things malevolent are heartily thriving...

The book is a catchy packaging job of the familiar semi-exaggerations about how the super-rich and super-famous flit mindlessly from pleasure to pleasure in ever-tightening circles that lead to self-destruction. With pagan innocence, Melinda herself commits incest, adultery, child neglect, international outrage and multiple murder. Because she is not a character, but the author's representation of nascent id, Melinda cannot suffer hell and damnation. She must be ticketed to limbo...
