Definitely not for the fainthearted.
The book documented five true-to-life cases of possession and exorcism of a priest, a highly intellectual psychic, a transvestite,a loner & a woman who struggles to attain her freedom.
I read it at night and decided to read it all the way til sunrise, afraid to let those stories linger in my mind. What made it really chilling is the thought of it being real. That it did happen to innocent (or not so innocent) people. It scared me better than Stephen King.
I love the way each cases were introduced. It was narrated from the history of the possessed, the nature of the possessing spirit, and the background of the exorcist. Cases were presented with clarity and without judgment (for the possessed). It was done professionally with the hope that the readers will understand the different natures of possession. The details were precise. Given the theme of this book, one would expect details of outrageous gore of endless puking. Do not fret. Those parts were written without going overboard. Malachi Martin did not sensationalize nor made it hollywood-ish.
