What to expect from American Horror Story season 12?

American Horror Story season 12 comes with a twist since it has been written by only one person, Halley Feiffer, in this instance. The season's adaptation by Feiffer is based on Danielle Valentine's book Delicate Condition.

The book's publisher calls it a "feminist update to Rosemary's Baby." Directed by the infamous Roman Polanski, Rosemary's Baby is a horror classic released in 1968, based on the book of the same name by Ira Levin.

Meanwhile, author Danielle Valentine had the following to say about the novel that served as the inspiration for American Horror Story season 12:

"It's a novel exploring not just the actual physical gruesomeness of what pregnancy is, but also the medical gaslighting that even modern, very privileged women experience as they're going through their pregnancies and the symptoms that I feel we as a culture still don't talk about for strange reasons."

It is now confirmed that Jessica Yu, the Oscar-winning director, would helm the season's opening episode, Multiply Thy Pain. The official synopsis of the first episode of American Horror Story season 12 is as follows:

"After multiple failed attempts of IVF, actress Anna Victoria Alcott wants nothing more than to start a family. As the buzz around her recent film grows, she fears that something may be targeting her - and her pursuit of motherhood."

According to the novel, the protagonist is a talented actress who thinks someone is attempting to prevent her from having children. Despite her struggles, she manages to get pregnant through IVF, but tragedy strikes when she miscarries. Since no one else believes her horrific claims, the individual is forced to suffer alone with the terrifying certainty that her unborn child is still alive inside of her.
