Rosemary’s Baby
Any story set in a New York City apartment building with a sinister, supernaturally inclined past probably owes a debt to Roman Polanski’s 1968 horror classic. While the circumstances surrounding Rosemary’s Baby’s pregnant housewife and Archive 81’s curious, camera-toting grad student are far from identical, both women begin to fear their surroundings—and start to sense that someone or something is out to get them—with similar degrees of white-hot fear. Also, Melody’s snooping turns up Archive 81’s equivalent of All of Them Witches at one point, though alas Dan never does figure out an anagram using Scrabble tiles.
