ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"A Head Full of Ghosts" by Paul G. Tremblay is a psychological horror novel that explores themes of mental illness, family dynamics, and the supernatural. The story follows the Barrett family, particularly 14-year-old Marjorie, whose erratic behavior leads her family to believe she may be possessed. The family becomes the subject of a reality TV show documenting Marjorie's supposed exorcism. The narrative alternates between the past and the present, told through the perspective of Marjorie's younger sister, Merry, who reflects on the traumatic events. The novel delves into the blurred line between reality and fiction, raising questions about belief, trauma, and the human mind.
