Weighing up the church and personal beliefs
Jeanette Winterson's classic semi-autobiographical story about growing up as a lesbian in a devoutly religious family shows the internal battle she had to deal with as a young girl. The exorcism scene is comically tragic as it's horrifying to think about how a girl is not accepted for who she is. An interesting story, but at times seemed a little repetitive.

Karma Marx has a despicable bastard for a husband and makes a deal for divorce-IF she performs an exorcism on the house he bought.

She agrees and ends up stuck in the house and the evil husband? DEAD. This was a great take on the locked room mystery and I really enjoy it. It's supposed to be in a series, but I haven't heard anything about a second one=(

Wicked
Another decent entry to the Conjuring films if maybe not quite hitting the highs of the first two films. It's still at a high level and you know what to expect from them now. Some nice cinematography, creepy scenes and a few jumps without relying on them.
The exorcism scenes are very good and fascinating that these films are based on real characters. Another solid entry in the Conjuring universe.

Well done
This horror movie actually fits the description. The acting was great and the cinematography/effects were very well done. This one has LOTS of creep factor. Pay attention or you'll miss little details. This is a really good demon possession story with lots of dark energy. The story moved along at a nice steady pace and delivered a very intense climactic exorcism scene. This one is really worth a watch!

The Good Demon is a gritty, dark, and refreshing YA story about Clare, a 15 year old girl who undergoes an exorcism without her consent. After the demon within her is purged, Clare is sick of her community trying to decide what's best for her and sets off to reclaim the demon stolen from her. The Good Demon explores topics such as consent, feminism, and religion, all while supporting Clare as a woman who can and does make decisions for herself.

If the Shining happened in an Ikea
Honestly one of my favorite covers because people keep thinking I studying an Ikea catalogue very thoroughly!

This book was just so much fun and had a really great balance when it came to the horror and comedy which for me just doesn't always come through when I'm reading books. But Grady Hendrix just really had a way with the genre. I bought this book first but ended up reading My Best Friends Exorcism first and that was also a great read.
