The Exorcist's House by Nick Roberts

 

The Exorcist's House by Nick Roberts - 242 pages

In the summer of 1994, psychologist Daniel Hill buys a rustic farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills of West Virginia.

Along with his wife, Nora, and their teenage daughter, Alice, the family uproots their lives in Ohio and moves south. At first, they are seduced by the natural beauty of the farm and enjoy the bonding experience of fixing the old house, but that all changes when they discover a hidden room in the basement with a well, boarded shut and adorned with crucifixes.

Local legends about the previous owner’s predilection for performing exorcisms come to light, but by then, all Hell has broken loose.

Normally I stay away from exorcism books but I had heard this one was pretty good so I gave it a whirl.  I have to say, this one was pretty good; it was spooky in all the right ways.  For lovers of horror I would definitely recommend this.

Twin Star Exorcists, v.1 by Yoshiaki Sukeno

Twin Star Exorcists, v. 1 by Yoshiaki Sukeno - 208 pages

Rokuro wants nothing to do with being an exorcist.  Benio's whole life is devoted to exorcism.  Then it is decreed that they are the Twin Star Exorcists who will marry and have a child who will be the most powerful exorcist of all time.  Too bad they hate each other.

This is the first volume in the series.  It was fairly interesting to read.  They did a good job of keeping you reading by not revealing too much of either Rokuro or Benio's past while dropping hints.  I'm intrigued enough that I started reading the second volume.
