A Head Full of Ghosts: A Novel
Tremblay Paul
The lives of the
Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when
fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute
schizophrenia.
To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to
stop Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves
into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic
priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the
vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession. He also
contacts a production company that is eager to document the Barretts'
plight. With John, Marjorie's father, out of work for more than a year
and the medical bills looming, the family agrees to be filmed, and soon
find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality
television show. When events in the Barrett household explode in
tragedy, the show and the shocking incidents it captures become the
stuff of urban legend.
Fifteen years later, a bestselling writer
interviews Marjorie's younger sister, Merry. As she recalls those long
ago events that took place when she was just eight years old,
long-buried secrets and painful memories that clash with what was
broadcast on television begin to surface--and a mind-bending tale of
psychological horror is unleashed, raising vexing questions about memory
and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil.
