Rich in detail derived from the author's fieldwork and anthropological literature, this work contemplates possession and exorcism in a holistic manner-discussing their effects on both the body and soul. How About Demons? paints a picture of possession as a usually positive experience occurring in a wide variety of cultures and religions around the globe.
