The Devil Made Me Do It: Our Favorite Books that Tackle Exorcism
Looking for some scary stories about demons, spirits, and devils? If you’re a fan horror, these books about exorcism are for you. Whether you’re looking for urban thriller with a side helping of demonic possession, or classic horror novels about the terrifying consequences of exorcisms, these books are sure to get you in the mood for peak horror season. After all, is there anything more perfect than a horror binge the weeks before Halloween?
When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.
But that’s business as usual: Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It’s the living who piss him off. . .
A brutal murder in the heart of London bears all the hallmarks of a long-dead American serial killer, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He’s also fighting a legal battle over the body—if not the soul—of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can’t shake the feeling that his three problems might be related.
With the help of the succubus Juliet and paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down an elevator shaft or rips his throat out.
Or not. . .
