“We all have our secrets, Father. I’ll keep yours if you keep mine.”If you’re anything like me, as soon as you read the word “exorcist” your brain immediately wanders to someplace like this . . .

God that’sfabulous nasty.
Exorcist Road is the story of one hellish night spent trying to exorcise the demon which has possessed young Casey . . . or trying to figure out if he’s truly possessed at all and not actually a psychotic serial killer.
What a wild ride! In the course of one evening EVERYONE’S skeletons come tumbling out of the closet in a story that is filled with surprise twist after surprise twist. There’s a little bit of something for everyone - Dirty business dealings, family secrets, immoral priests, and let’s not forget about all those dead 16-year old girls.. Exorcist Road is a prime example that a story doesn’t have to be long to pack a wallop. In fact, I would have been okay with this one being even a little shorter. Although imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Exorcist Road was brilliantly written as a killer stand-alone that did not need to rely on some knock-off The Exorcist scenes in order to add to the page count.
