The show lasted just six episodes, thanks to an explosive incident involving a Catholic exorcism since then, Merry has tried to cope with the unimaginable tragedy that followed.
Their skeptical mother disagreed, and the fractures that appeared in the family were ripped open when they agreed to let a TV network turn their ongoing crisis into a reality show called The Possession. On its surface, A Head Full of Ghosts is easy to grasp: A 23-year-old woman named Merry Barrett is working with an author, Rachel Neville, on a book about Merry's troubled childhood - specifically a time 15 years earlier, when Merry's older sister, Marjorie, was behaving so hideously that it led their unemployed, religious father to blame demonic possession. Instead, it smartly, viscerally exposes the way mass media, the Internet and pop culture have transformed our experience of that primal human impulse, horror. In spite of that proximity to so much chilling history, the book is not your typical tale of the supernatural. Accordingly, A Head Full of Ghosts is also set in New England - in Beverly, Mass., just across the Danvers River from Salem. It's no surprise, then, that the works of both authors are cited in A Head Full of Ghosts, the latest novel by Boston-based writer Paul Tremblay. Lovecraft to Stephen King, horror writers have found frightening inspiration in small-town New England. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
