The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when 14-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to stop Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession.

Brilliant Thriller. Terrifyingly real.

So, this was the best freaking novel I've read (listened to) in a long time.
In my humble opinion, horror novels, ghosts stories etc should come out on audio first. Why?
Campfires.
Campfires, and sleep overs, and a bunch of friends huddled around with the lights down low scaring each other stupid with tales of woe and mystery that make the familiar surroundings foreign, right?
Dark and stormy nights?
What was that noise?
Can someone walk me to the bathroom so I can pee?
This story was so good that I listened to it in a day and a half and what's brilliant about it - is the blurred reality you're dealing with.
What's at the center of all this? A demon? Psychotic breakdowns? A Family dragged down with a possessed child or vicarious psychopathy?
What really happened?
Well, it's up to you, really. That, and the poetic prose makes this story a must read for any fan of the horror genre.
I want to be Paul Tremblay when I grow up.

For over 20 years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mt. Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity.
But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all. For one night, they will investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House.

Man, what a ride that was. This is definitely "The Mount Everest" of ghost stories.
