In The Rite, journalist Matt Baglio uses the astonishing story of one American priest's training as an exorcist to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people's lives even today.

The Rite provides fascinating vignettes from the lives of exorcists and people possessed by demons, including firsthand accounts of exorcists at work casting out demons, culminating in Father Gary's own confrontations with Devils. Baglio also traces the history of exorcism, revealing its rites and rituals, explaining what Catholic Church really teaches about demonic possession, and delving into such related cults, black masses, curses, and anthropologists who seek to quantify such phenomena.

Written with an investigative eye that will captivate both skeptics and believers alike. The Rite shows that the truth about demonic possession is not only stranger than fiction, but also far more chilling.
