I wrote a lengthy post seeing how much of Bateman’s New York of the 1980s still exists today (very little, for better or worse).įashion model Alison moves into a creepy Upper West Side brownstone and quickly becomes annoyed with her bizarre neighbors…That is, until she learns she lives alone in the building, save for a blind priest on the top floor. Unfortunately, to Bateman’s dismay, no one seems to notice either identity, and so he delves deeper into his depraved world… Even if you’ve seen the movie version a million times like I have, it’s absolutely worth a read, if only for the slightly different ending…Įxquisitely-dressed and well-manicured Patrick Bateman lives a dual life: Wall Street banker by day, homicidal psychopath by night. I just read Rosemary’s Baby for the first time, and was blown away by how perfectly precise Levin’s novel is, from prose to character to plotting. But a series of strange incidents leads her to believe her seemingly harmless neighbors might be plotting something devilish for her baby… Rosemary Woodhouse and her husband Guy move into the infamous Bramford apartment building on the Upper West Side, and she soon becomes pregnant. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some obvious ones – just remind me in the comments and I’ll add it to the list. With Halloween just around the corner, I figured it’s the perfect time to put together a list of the best horror fiction set in New York City.
