The Exorcist
Book • 1971
The Exorcist, written by William Peter Blatty, tells the story of Regan MacNeil, a 12-year-old girl who becomes possessed by an evil spirit.
Her mother, Chris MacNeil, a successful actress, seeks help from two priests: Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychiatrist struggling with his faith, and Father Lankester Merrin, an elderly priest with experience in exorcisms.
The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the battle between good and evil as the priests perform an exorcism to save Regan.
The story is intense and graphic, delving into the psychological and supernatural aspects of the possession and the exorcism process.
It was inspired by a real-life case of demonic possession in the 1940s and has become a classic in the horror genre.
