""A horror story for all midnights."" — The Boston Globe
Inspired by the shockingly true story of a child’s demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty's iconic novel focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. When sweet Regan's behavior turns sinister, a small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals take it upon themselves to rescue the poor girl from her unspeakable fate. Timeless and terrifying, The Exorcist is a story that has gripped the public zeitgeist for more than half a century.
Originally published in 1971, it remains one of the most controversial novels ever written. A literary phenomenon soon after its release, it spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one. It also became a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. On the opening day of the film, lines of fans stretched around city blocks. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. The three major television networks carried footage of these events, and CBS’s Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a true landmark of American culture. . . and a reflection of our innermost fears.
Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist continues to engross and disturb readers. It remains an unforgettable reading experience that will continue to shock and frighten new generations of readers.

Lika bra som filmen. Att ljudboken läses av författaren själv är guld värt. Han har en mycket behaglig röst att lyssna på och han läser med 200% inlevelse. Boken har en mycket bra och spännande handling, detsamma gäller dess karaktärer och det är lätt att förstå att boken chockade dess läsare när den släpptes för första gången. Den chockar säkert läsare än idag och det med all rätt. Boken är genuint creepy och smått obehaglig att ta del av, men på det där mysiga sättet som gör att du vill fortsätta att lyssna. Rekommenderas varmt!
