Ira Levin, of ‘Rosemary’s Baby,’ Dies at 78
Ira Levin, a mild-mannered playwright and novelist who liked nothing better than to give people the creeps — and who did so repeatedly, with best-selling novels like “Rosemary’s Baby,” “The Stepford Wives” and “The Boys From Brazil” — died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 78...

sad news indeed. He was great. Rosemary`s baby was one of the first books that I actually read.

Rest In Peace Ira Levin. You will be missed.

Man - I've been trying to find a copy of Rosemary's Baby at the book store for so long. Every time I go - they don't have it.
And when I order books on amazon - I usually order the more expensive stuff because it's cheaper.
I read The Stepford Wives and thought it was great. He is very subtle in how he brings out the weirdness. You think - maybe? maybe? Nah... and that's when he hits you.
For anybody that hasn't read it yet - Stranger than Fiction has a nice piece in it about Ira Levin.
