The Exorcist
(Harper Collins)Inspired by a real life story of demonic possession, William Blatty’s The Exorcist brings us face to face with one of human history’s most feared foes: the devil. Well, not Satan directly, but one of his top agents. In Washington D.C., an affluent actress sees her life run off the rails after her daughter Regan begins behaving strangely. And when I say “strangely,” I mean levitating off the bed and doing unspeakable sexual blasphemies with religious objects. Regan’s mother seeks the help of a Jesuit priest struggling with his faith, who discovers to his horror that the spiritual world he doubted is devastatingly real. At its core, this novel is about the real life horror of having a sick child – a parent’s worst nightmare. When the disease is a demon, what’s the appropriate medicine? Sacrifice, and quite a lot of it. Your sanity, your body, and potentially even your immortal soul – as the hapless priest soon finds out.
