Once upon a time, a man named Randall Sullivan went looking for the Devil. His journey took him far and wide, eventually resulting in this book. It also made him a believer in the process.
More or less bookended by real life exorcism accounts with a true crime thread strung out throughout, a chronological theological and philosophical narrative, and a particularly nightmarish travelogue account of Mexico, this book is all over the place in the best possible way. It’s fascinating, obviously well-researched, and, as one might expect, very, very dark. I’ve never read the author before, an obvious oversight, but this was the most auspicious of introductions. Excellent writing that keeps your interest chapter to chapter no matter how bleak, clever observations, vivid descriptions make this book a very good read indeed. Much was learned. If you ever get tired of the sunny side of the street and interested in exploring the darkness, this is a solid choice. Recommended. Thanks Netgalley.
