About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
THE MOST TERRIFYING NOVEL EVER WRITTEN.
THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER MADE.
Father Damien Karras: 'Where is Regan?'
Regan MacNeil: 'In here. With us.'
The terror begins unobtrusively. Noises in the attic. In the child's room, an odd smell, the displacement of furniture, an icy chill. At first, easy explanations are offered. Then frightening changes begin to appear in eleven-year-old Regan. Medical tests fail to shed any light on her symptoms, but it is as if a different personality has invaded her body.
Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest, is called in. Is it possible that a demonic presence has possessed the child? Exorcism seems to be the only answer...
First published in 1971, The Exorcist became a literary phenomenon and inspired one of the most shocking films ever made. This audio edition, polished, expanded and narrated by the author, includes new dialogue, a new character and a chilling new extended scene, provides an unforgettable listening experience that has lost none of its power to shock and continues to thrill and terrify new listeners.

That is only a part of what makes this audiobook so enjoyable, however. The most beautiful thing about it is that, for once, we have an author who can narrate their work with depth, clarity and understanding. All too often I have been the victim of authors who mistakenly believe that they are qualified to read aloud their own work, only to spoil their own prose with audible ineptitude. Not so with Mr Blatty, and that is saying something when born of my picky British ears. In short: bravo, on all counts.
An outstanding surprise
