BANTAM BOOKS

In 1971, William Peter Blatty's groundbreaking novel, The Exorcist, presented a terrifying account of demonic possession in contemporary Washington D.C. Over a decade later, his best-selling sequel of grisly killings seem to haunt the site of the original exorcism.Here for the first time in print are Blatty's electrifying screenplays: The Exorcist, directed by William Friedkin in 1973, and for which Blatty won an Academy Award; and Legion, subsequently filmed as The Exorcist III. Included are the full texts of The Exorcist's legendary 'lost scenes' and excised dialogue, plus the controversial climax Blatty intended for his extraordinary sequel.Both popular and profound, Blatty's Exorcist diptych is a unique exploration of evil and the mystery of faith.

Legion

Just in time for the 40th anniversary of The Exorcist -- Legion, a classic tale of horror, is back in print! A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation? Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between these crimes and another series of murders that took place twelve years agoâ€”and supposedly ended with the death of the killer? Legion is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition. The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcistâ€”William Peter Blatty.
