As a thriller writer, I’m never certain where my research will take me, and often it takes me to very dark places. Demonic possession, for example.
“Possession” is now recognized in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
I have on my desk a letter from an exorcism team at a Southern California Catholic church telling me that “more people of good will have been experiencing various forms of spiritual attack since the onset of the pandemic” and that “the team is overwhelmed with its current workload.”
