Exorcism.”—The Wall Street Journal

enroll it in high school in 1988 — that’ll give you My Best
Friend’s Exorcism...Campy. Heartfelt. Horrifying.”—Minnesota Public
Radio

unnerving.”—Fangoria

possession.”—Bloody Disgusting
“Terrific...Sharply written...[My Best Friend’s Exorcism] makes a
convincing case for [Hendrix’s] powers as a sharp observer of human
behavior, filtered through a fun genre conceit that doesn’t skimp
on the spooky—or the bodily fluids.”—The A.V. Club

simultaneously bringing forth a greater message about friendship,
religion, self-image, and the undeniable power of Phil
Collins.”—Collider

It’s funny, it’s heart-wrenching, it’s even a little spiritual, in
a very strange way.”—Southern Living magazine

Stranger Things] and a vintage-looking cover to boot.”—Reader’s

flick.”—Bustle
“If you’re looking for a good summer book, something for the beach
or the back porch that won’t insult your intelligence, one that’s
tense and sometimes scary and sometimes funny, with characters you
may even come to like and admire as they come of age, keep My Best
Friend’s Exorcism in mind.”—SFFWorld
