*The Exorcist* by William Peter Blatty. It is both a demonic and psychological horror novel, leaving much of its interpretation up to the reader. The movie adaptation, in my opinion, fails to do justice to the book, it strips away much of the story’s complexity and reduces it to just another possession film. The novel, however, masterfully plays with your psyche. Personally, I haven’t been this terrified reading a book in a long time, and I’ve read plenty.
