Reviews
"Provocative, shocking, moving." --Kirkus Reviews "What cannot be doubted is importance of Ray Russell's novel. It was a predecessor of many famous fictions involving exorcisms, a subject all but forgotten at the time. This book began a sub-genre of literature and is arguably its finest example. It is a well-written and accessible work that is delightfully full of careful nuance, yet free from weighty judgments and pesky dogmatic diatribes. But, most of all, it is a fantastic horror story. Instead of watching The Exorcist for the umpteenth time this Halloween season, read this short but thought-provoking and dramatic novel instead." --Portland Book Review "Russell links postpulp literature and the Grand Grand Guignol tradition with the modern sensibilities of America in the 1960s...[He is] a fascinating combination of the liberal and the heretic." --Guillermo del Toro, Praise for The Case Against Satan: "Provocative, shocking, moving." -Kirkus Reviews Praise for Ray Russell: "[ Sardonicus is] perhaps the finest example of the modern gothic ever written." -Stephen King "Russell links postpulp literature and the Grand Grand Guignol tradition with the modern sensibilities of America in the 1960s...[He is] a fascinating combination of the liberal and the heretic." -Guillermo del Toro, "A sleek, compelling tale of diabolical possession that prefigures Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby ." --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "With gripping clarity and incisive wit, Russell weaves a suspenseful plot that's more of an intellectual thriller than a horror yarn. And at a time when there are still massive ideological battles being waged between science and religion -- not to mention a Pope in the Vatican who's interpreting Catholic doctrine in a way that's inspiring to some and feather-ruffling to others -- The Case Against Satan retains its harrowing, relevant edge." --NPR "Provocative, shocking, moving." --Kirkus Reviews "[A] sincere and subtle tale of ultimate evil that feels less dated than many of the works it inspired." --The Seattle Times "What cannot be doubted is importance of Ray Russell's novel.

Synopsis
Before The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby , there was The Case Against Satan By the twentieth century, the exorcism had all but vanished, wiped out by modern science and psychology. But Ray Russell-praised by Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro as a sophisticated practitioner of Gothic fiction-resurrected the ritual with his classic 1962 horror novel, The Case AgainstSatan, giving new rise to the exorcism on page, screen, and even in real life. Teenager Susan Garth was "a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age before she started having "fits"-a sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. Then one night, she strips in front of the parish priest and sinks her nails into his throat. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession. To vanquish the Devil, Bishop Crimmings recruits Father Gregory Sargent, a younger priest with a taste for modern ideas and brandy.As the two men fight not just the darkness tormenting Susan but also one another, a soul-chilling revelation lurks in the shadows-one that knows that the darkest evil goes by many names. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
