The Review:

The book that will give you nightmares and make you jumpy from the first page and will haunt you long after you've finished it. Even the king admitted that, of all the horror novels he had written, this one terrified him the most.

I first saw the movie adaptation of this book, then read the book a few years later, and I was shocked to my core; the movie was scary, but the book is unrivaled; I am confident that it can scare even an adult to the same degree that it can scare a child.

When I have to say things like "Stephen King is an incredible storyteller" or "he is the master of his craft," I sometimes feel like a broken record. Because he has so many books, almost all of which are fantastic. Perhaps I'll save this paragraph and use it in all of my future reviews of his books.

One of the most recommended books and scary as well, just don’t forget, it is better not to read it at night especially before going to bed because I have noticed a pattern of nightmares in almost everyone who reads it before sleeping.

The book touches a deep chord in the reader’s heart by asking and doing something painful, then gives a solution but the solution is so scary and gives you a choice to think if it is ethical or unethical. When I first watched the adaptation of this book,

I really wanted to do the unethical and later when I read the book, I still wanted to do the unethical because I believe one person's ethics may be another’s unethical and vise versa. Like a martyr can be a hero to one country or religion but to the other, he may be a terrorist, so we can’t decide which is which and what is wrong and what is correct for everyone. Plus I love when death is defeated in any form, even Frankenstein’s monster was to me a success and win over death.

The novel is going to grab your windpipe in the last hundred or so pages so be advised and don’t read it when you are alone.


Synopsis:

“Now a major motion picture! Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller is a “wild, powerful, disturbing” (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the grave—among King’s most iconic and frightening novels.

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow’s tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed’s beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing…as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better…”

Legion

Legion

Published: 1983

Author: William Peter Blatty

Book 2 of 2: The Exorcist Series

Genres: American, Classics, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Mysteries, Occult, Police Procedural, Psychological, Supernatural

The Review:

This book, like its predecessor The Exorcist, deals with demonic possession, and if you know the story behind the title, it may make your hair stand on end because the title is based on a Bible passage about demons.

The Gospel of Luke depicts Jesus' journey to Gadarenes, where he meets a man who is possessed by demons:
"What is your name?" Jesus inquired of him. "Legion," he murmured, for many devils had entered him (Luke 8:30).

The event, also referred to as the Gerasene Demoniac, is more commonly quoted from Mark's Gospel:
"What is thy name?" he inquired. "My name is Legion," he said, "for we are many." Mark 5:9

If you don't like crazy ramblings or plots that go nowhere, the beginning of the book may discourage some readers from continuing to read, but don't stop because all that rambling has something hidden in it and once the story begins properly, it will not stop.

The novel is frightening, but I found it to be much more philosophical. The movie, on the other hand, is scarier, but it is still no match for the book.

This book is both amusing and heartbreaking. It will make you cry and leave you speechless. Late William Peter Blatty was a fantastic author with a depth of thought and philosophy that was evident in his books.

The story is scary, and it is a horror novel, but it is not your typical horror story; I call it a thinking man's horror, and even though it begins slowly, and some readers may not like it, I am still giving it full marks and highly recommending it.


Synopsis:

“From the author of The Exorcist -- Legion, a classic tale of horror, is back in print!

A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation?

Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between these crimes and another series of murders that took place twelve years ago—and supposedly ended with the death of the killer?

Legion is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition.

The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcist—William Peter Blatty.”

The Exorcist

The Exorcist

Published: June 1971

Author: William Peter Blatty

Book 1 of 2: The Exorcist Series

Genres: American, Classics, Demonic Possession, Demonology & Satanism, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Occult, Psychological

The Review:

The story revolves around a young girl who is the daughter of a well-known actress. In addition, there are two priests who are attempting to exorcise the demon from the young girl. The novel was adapted into a highly successful film two years later, with Peter Blatty writing and producing the screenplay, which was part of the Exorcist franchise.

This book will frighten you with its topic and the ideas it will offer you about religion, faith, and God, and why or how he allows innocent people to suffer, but you should decide for yourself while reading it.

It can be an easy read, unsettling, and vile at times, but it should not be read at night, especially before going to bed, because the images and words may form into nightmares and you may be unable to close your eyes.

One character in this book who reminded me of a TV detective Columbo was shocking, but I later realized that the book was written and published a long time ago, and this TV show came much later. Then I discovered that Peter Blatty had actually accused the show of extracting his character.

When I was four years old, I saw the movie adaptation and loved it. I watched it several times and realized that all the adults are afraid of the girl who was so funny to me and could turn her head like an owl. Later, I learned about a challenge and reward in my local cinema, which was to watch the movie alone at night in the cinema to win a large cash prize, and I asked my father to take me there, but he refused because I was too young to participate and told me about a man who died of a heart attack while trying to watch this movie.

I believe the book is scarier than the movie. While you cannot see a head turn in the book, what your mind and imagination create is far scarier than anything a movie could ever create.

Giving points or recommending this iconic novel is pointless, but I must give points for people who are unaware of what they are missing or only understand the language of numbers.


Synopsis:

“Originally published in 1971, The Exorcist is now a major television series on FOX. It remains one of the most controversial novels ever written and went on to become a literary phenomenon: It spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one. Inspired by a true story of a child’s demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying.

Two years after its publication, The Exorcist was, of course, turned into a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. On opening day of the film, lines of the novel’s fans stretched around city blocks. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. The three major television networks carried footage of these events; CBS’s Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a true landmark.

Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist still has the extraordinary ability to disturb readers and cause them to forget that it is “just a story.” Published here in this beautiful fortieth anniversary edition, it remains an unforgettable reading experience and will continue to shock and frighten a new generation of readers.”
