Book Review: The Exorcist's House by Nick Roberts


Five stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book is a real page-turner. It pulls you in right from the beginning, releasing its hold only after you reach the last page.

The plot is simple enough. It’s 1994. A psychologist inadvertently buys a demon-infested house in West Virginia. Its former owner was an exorcist who burned to death in the house.

The simplicity of the storyline works because the real star here is the action. Once or twice I questioned why the characters did what they did, but ultimately I didn’t care because I had to find out what happens next.

Author Nick Roberts fills his characters with more depth than is usual in a horror story. You care. You want them to survive. There is gore. A pervasive atmosphere of dread. I had to stop reading at some parts of the book because it got a little too intense.

Horror fans will enjoy this.
