"A guided tour through the burgeoning business of exorcism and the darker side of American life." "There is no other religious ritual more fascinating, or more disturbing, than exorcism.

We've all heard of exorcism, seen the movies, and read the books, but few of us have ever experienced it firsthand."--BOOK JACKET.
