Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you come to this book expecting it to be anything like the Anthony Hopkins movie you’ll be very, very disappointed. There’s no red-eyed mule, no frogs, nobody strapped to a hospital bed, and no possessed mentor priest.…
