With The Exorcist Effect, Joseph Laycock continues his forensic analyses of the intersection of Catholic practices and American media and popular culture. Here we find an intriguing investigation into the cultural developments that inspire the thriving practice of exorcism in North America. Countering the intuitive assumption that the rising demand for exorcists correlates to a rise in weird phenomena, Laycock and Harrelson trace the effects that media like The Exorcist have on perceptions and practices related to demonic possession. This is an engaging and enjoyable book for anyone interested in Catholicism, the supernatural, and religion. Laycock continues the work he has become known for-delivering top scholarship that is cutting edge and frankly, hard to put down. Highly recommended!
