From Little Stack
Are some kids just born bad? That’s the question at the heart of the novel that birthed the creepy kid trope. Eight-year-old Rhoda is the picture of innocence. Her hair is always perfectly braided. Her clothes pristine. So why do bad things always seem to happen when she’s around? Is it bad luck? Or something worse? With a charming smile and a knack for talking her way out of anything, little Rhoda might be able to get away with anything. Even murder.
The bestselling novel that inspired Mervyn LeRoy’s classic horror film about the little girl who can get away with anything—even murder.
There’s something special about eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark. With her carefully plaited hair and her sweet cotton dresses, she’s the very picture of old-fashioned innocence. But when their neighborhood suffers a series of terrible accidents, her mother begins to wonder: Why do bad things seem to happen when little Rhoda is around?
Originally published in 1954, William March’s final novel was an instant bestseller and National Book Award finalist before it was adapted for the stage and made into a 1956 film. The Bad Seed is an indelible portrait of an evil that wears an innocent face, one which still resonates in popular culture today. With a new foreword by Anna Holmes.
Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based.
