Description

CELEBRATE 55 YEARS OF ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING NOVELS EVER WRITTEN WITH THIS STUNNING SPECIAL EDITION HARDBACK.

This anniversary edition of William Peter Blatty’s horror masterpiece features striking foiled boards, illustrated endpapers and a foreword by bestselling horror author GRADY HENDRIX, making it the ultimate edition for fans and collectors.

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 MacNeil. 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 special 55th-anniversary hardback presents Blatty’s preferred version of the novel, polished and expanded by the author to include new dialogue, a new character and a chilling extended scene. More than half a century after its original publication, The Exorcist has lost none of its power to shock, thrill and terrify.

A landmark of horror. A true modern classic. Now in a special edition worthy of its legacy.
