Summary:
WINNER OF THE 2015 BRAM STOKER Honor FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN A Book
A chilling thriller that brilliantly blends psychological suspense and supernatural horror, similar to Stephen King’s The Shining, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, and William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist.
The lives from the Barretts, a standard suburban New Britain family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie starts to show signs of acute schizophrenia.
To her parents’ despair, the doctors are about A Head Filled with Ghosts unable to prevent Marjorie’s descent into madness. As their steady home devolves into a home of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he thinks the vulnerable teen is the victim of demonic possession. He also contacts a production company that is wanting to record the Barretts’ plight. With John, Marjorie’s father, unemployed for more than a season as well as the medical expenses looming, the family agrees to become filmed, and quickly end up the unwitting superstars of The Possession, a hit fact television show. When occasions in the Barrett household explode in tragedy, the show and the surprising incidents it captures end up being the stuff of metropolitan legend.
Fifteen years later on, a bestselling writer interviews Marjorie’s younger sister, Merry. As she recalls those long ago events that took place when she was just eight years old, long-buried secrets and unpleasant remembrances that clash with what was broadcast on television start to surface-and a mind-bending tale of emotional horror is usually unleashed, increasing vexing questions about memory and reality, science and religious beliefs, and the very nature of evil.
