Laugh all you want.... Possession of one of my kids (or me for that matter). ie as in "The Exorcist."
You should definitely avoid reading
this book then.This one didn't exactly leave me feeling calm and serene either.
The first author was a Catholic priest and the second author was the Chief Exorcist at the Vatican.
Don't read them late at night while everyone is asleep and the wind is whistling in the eaves.
I still feel a little creepy after reading those books when I think about it.

Oh, man, that first one I've heard of and I want to get it so badly... what is it about reading things that make us uncomfortable? I still can't read the Exorcist again and it's probably been 30 years since I first read it.
I don't know, but reading it seems somehow more intense than seeing the movie. Why do we do it? I think we like to torture ourselves.
I remember when the movie "The Exorcist" came out. I was sixteen. I took a girl to see it, drove my '67 Chevelle convertible, figured it would be a fun evening. Well, at some point in the movie we both stopped talking. We rode home in complete silence, scanning the road ahead and occasionally glancing out the window. I felt like I was in shock. It was several weeks before we could talk about our reaction and laugh...a little. But it still wasn't as bad as reading the book.
If you get that book by Malachi Martin, just remember - I warned you. You're going to be heavily creeped out by it. Very scary stuff. Worse than reading "The Exorcist" and that was bad enough.
Cheers!
