The author of the
Exorcism of Anneliese Michel "is to be commended for a stimulating and wide-reaching treatment of a compelling and much-debated subject" (
Journal of Folklore Research).
As part of a series that strives to introduce new or previously unrecognized folkloric phenomena-as well as new approaches and theories that result from discovery and investigation-
How About Demons? provides an overview of a topic that has for many years captured the imagination of people from all walks of life.
Rich in detail derived from the author's fieldwork and anthropological literature, this work contemplates possession and exorcism in a holistic manner-discussing their effects on both the body and soul.
How About Demons? paints a picture of possession as a usually positive experience occurring in a wide variety of cultures and religions around the globe. It also details the ritual of exorcism which is applied when things go wrong.
"Quite an interesting book."-
Religious Studies Review
"It is by far superior to anything else on demons we have seen in the past few years."-
The American Rationalist
