SUMMARY:
The phenomenal bestseller that inspired the classic motion
picture--newly re-released in a version you've never seen
before!
When originally published in 1971, The Exorcist became not only a
bestselling literary phenomenon, but one of the most frightening
and controversial novels ever written. (When the author adapted his
book to the screen two years later, it then became one of the most
terrifying movies ever made.) Blatty fictionalized the true story
of a child's demonic possession in the 1940s. The deceptively
simple story focuses on Regan, the 11-year-old daughter of a movie
actress residing in Washington, D.C.; the child apparently is
possessed by an ancient demon. It's up to a small group of
overwhelmed yet determined humans to somehow rescue Regan from this
unspeakable fate. Purposefully raw and profane, this novel still
has the extraordinary ability to literally shock us into forgetting
that it is "just a story." The Exorcist remains a truly
unforgettable reading experience. Blatty published a sequel,
Legion, in 1983.
