Thank you to the publisher for providing me with advance access to the audiobook edition in exchange for my honest review!
Sometimes it’s hard to write compelling reviews about a book because you enjoyed it SO much that all you want to do is throw copies at everyone you know because EVERYONE needs to read it. This was one of those books for me. I read the audiobook version and the narrator is fantastic and extremely easy to listen to. This all-encompassing history of The Exorcist is deeply important for anyone with even a passing curiosity in horror, media, or the entertainment industry. I can see sections of this being added to film theory class syllabi and believe this will stand as a definitive example of how to write a history about media with such depth and importance to the canon.
