Product Description:
The phenomenal bestseller that inspired the classic motion picture--newly re-released in a version you've never seen before!
Amazon.com Review:
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. --Stanley Wiater

Why it has taken me so long to get around to reading this genius book I will never know, the same as why I will never know why I was in college before I watched the film (considering both the book and movie are older than I am). This book sat in my pile of "to be read" books for months, and finally I got around to digging it out and starting to work on it. At just under 400 pages, this is slightly longer than most horror novels put out today (which for some reason are all between 300 and 320 pages), ... Read More

I had seen the film, I liked it very much. A horror masterpiece. But soomething in me always told me I wasn't sattisfied with the film, I wished to see more intense parts. Few weeks ago I came to know about the book, I dont know what came in my mind but I thought the book might have the whole story more in detail.. and I was right. The book unlike the film scared me even more... since its much more in detail, dont get me wrong.. the film is good, but the book is even better. It scared me a lot, and there ... Read More

The Angel Hunter
Human suffering caused to the loved ones of the addicted. That is the archetype of Regan McNeil. It could be drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, whatever. The demon simply makes the story more demonstrative. For in the end, Regan remembers nothing. The lives of two dedicated priests are gone and Chris McNeil and countless others have been forever scared by what they lived through. For any of us who have loved an addict, you'll know what I mean. Read the book. It is NOT like the movie. The ... Read More

Hey folks,
Welp, we've all seen the movie. Most of us agree that the movie is one of the scariest films ever created. The book, contains all of those scenes. The vomiting, shrieking of obscenities, "Dimmy, please!", etc...And a whole lot more.
With this book you receive the horror and suspense. You receive the gross-out moments, and subtle dark humor. You receive the cunning grotesqueries of the demon inside Regan, you receive the angst and the drama, as well as some funny situations, ... Read More

I'm spinning around, spewing my way, and I like it like that.
One place where your learned religious type can come in handy is dealing with your basic demonic possession. They earn their funny outfits then, that is for sure. Particularly if a rather canny denizen of the nether regions decides your youngish virgin girl is a good vessel to choose for maximum disturbing effect.
