A head full of ghosts

A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay tells the story of the Barrett family, whose lives are disrupted when 14-year-old Marjorie begins displaying signs of acute schizophrenia.

Desperate for help, her family turns to an exorcism, which becomes a reality TV show.

The novel explores themes of perception, reality, and the blurred lines between psychological trauma and supernatural events.

It is told through the recollections of Marjorie's younger sister, Merry, now an adult, as she reflects on the events that destroyed her family.
