Description

“A hugely influential account that qualifies as jaw-dropping.” –William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist

Is evil real? Is it a metaphor for the bad things people do or does it prowl the earth like a living, breathing entity that possesses the souls of vulnerable humans?

The Unwelcomed begins with the arrival of a young Radcliffe student at the office of renowned psychotherapist, Dr. Morton Prince. Pursued by a city marshal hellbent on solving the murder of two infants strangled by her father, Clara Fowler relives the nightmare that was her childhood—exalted by Visitations from Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin, cursed by the emergence of a demonic presence obsessed with her demise.

What did it all mean? And how did each of these murders link with the serial killings of Jack the Ripper and H. H. Holmes? The answer, the grizzled lawman discovers, is more shocking than he could ever imagine!

I really enjoyed this book. It honestly made me feel more uneasy/scared than any other book has so far. Movies with possession normally freak me out and this is the first book I’ve read that had to do with this. I was genuinely scared and couldn’t read this at night which is when I do most of my reading. One night I was sleeping in the recliner and woke up at 3AM with my 18 month old and as I was rocking her I was thinking about this book when all of a sudden something came up behind me and very gently tapped my head twice. I screamed and jumped like a crazy lady and turned to see my 8 year old staring at me like I was nuts and then she said, “umm, I can’t sleep.” 🤣 I just started laughing lol. But this book seriously got to me!!! The only reason I’m giving it for stars is because there was a lotttt of bigger words or unusual words that I had no idea what they meant, so I spent a lot of time googling words to find out their meaning. I do understand this book is based on a period of time from 1890s-1900s, so I get people talked differently. Just personally it slowed me down a bit because I like to know what the words I’m reading mean and I did have to look up several words. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for approving me for this arc and giving me the opportunity to read it!!
