Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Paperback printing. [minor handling wear, nice tight binding, light/soft vertical crease along left edge of front cover]. Mass Market PB (B&W photographs) "Now, for the first time [but not the last], a book reveals the strange story of the writing of the novel and the making of the movie. It is the story of weird, almost inexplicable 'coincidences' -- of people doing things they had never dreamed of doing before -- of levitations, a girl's head rotating 180 degrees with the appropriate cracking sounds, vomit hurled at people's faces, demonic transformations, flying objects, apparitions, demon voices, superhuman feats of strength, not to mention the exorcism itself -- of what happened to all those involved during the shooting of the movie -- of how it changed their lives." Although this book has the cachet of a more in-the-moment contemporaneous perspective, for a retrospective (and perhaps more critically and historically measured) take on the same topic, we can recommend Nat Segaloff's 2023 book "The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear." (Both the hardcover edition of the Travers/Reiff book, published by Crown, and this paperback issue have become rather scarce.).
