"A horror story for all midnights." -- The Boston Globe "There are not many readers who will be unmoved.

Blatty makes you think this scary tale really might have happened." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Up till dawn, I was, with The Exorcist . A shocker . . . driving to a violent conclusion." -- Cosmopolitan "A page-turner par excellence. Poe and Mary Shelley would recognize [Blatty] as working in their ambiguous limbo between the natural and the supernatural . . . hair-rising." -- Life "A tremendous novel . . . fast, powerful, and completely gripping, a hypnotic combination of morality tale and supernatural detective story. A parable for our times, a stunning achievement." -- London Sunday Express " The Exorcist should be read twice; the first time for the passion and horrifying intensity of the story, with a second reading to savor the subtleties of language and phrasing. . . . It''s an experience you will never forget." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Suspense that never lets up!" -- Publishers Weekly "A fantastic and deeply religious novel that will touch the reader to his very soul as it touches on things in this world that cannot be explained away rationally." -- Texas Abilene Reporter-News
