About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE MOST TERRIFYING NOVEL EVER WRITTEN.

THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER MADE.

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. 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 audio edition, polished, expanded and narrated by the author, includes new dialogue, a new character and a chilling new extended scene, provides an unforgettable listening experience that has lost none of its power to shock and continues to thrill and terrify new listeners.

Incredible Book & Narration

I haven’t watched the movie (yet), but this was as close to one playing in my head. Bratty’s prose is incredible! It’s very cinematic and at the same time very weighted and feels like writings of a great thinker/philosopher. Another thing which really struck me (and this is something the writer has said before) is that this almost at parts reads like a detective novel more than a horror one. But oh man is the horror on point! Very graphic and haunting. It’s probably one of the best books (and audio narratives) I have ever experienced.

must listen

having already read the novel years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to have been blown away by the extremely immersive experience that I got from listening the story in the voice of the author himself. Highly recommended.

Worth it!

I'm not sure if this us the most terrifying novel ever written but it's a great exorcism book. I loved the sceptical priest overcoming his doubts while the atheist mother had no doubts. Must read.

Not bad.. but also not so good

Story is great. But i had hard time following the narrator due to the accent. May be it its only me..
