Our view
“My Best Friend’s Exorcism” is a horror novel about a friendship first and a possession second, and it is better for that order. The 1980s Charleston setting is played for humour, yet the real unease comes from a girl who sees exactly what is wrong with her friend and can do nothing about it. It turns more disturbing than its jokey surface suggests, and the ending aims at the heart.
