And so, all those modern movies where creatures twist into abnormal visions of horror - bending, cracking, and popping bones.
Yep, it all originated with The Exorcist.
Not the movie.
The book.

A book disappears off a table.
In any other book, that wouldn’t be much of a foreshadow.
And stop with the window reinforcement already.
I’ve seen the movie!!!!🤣. A dozen times at least!

Twisting and knotting up the reader before a big “scene”. Anticipation drags the reader.

I love writers who can paint pictures with the pen.
Blatty drowns you in the cold ruins of Mosul then revives you with a dose of touchable Georgetown.

Reading it again because it never grows old.
And as a good balance against Stephen King’s The Girl Who Lived Tom Gordon.
