Original maroon cloth with titles stamped in silver; original dust jacket (rubbing to spine, toning at interior edges of dust jacket). Provenance: ?Cramer? (inscription on front free endpaper). FIRST EDITION. A modern classic of the horror genre, The Exorcist was inspired by a purported 1949 case in which a young boy in Cottage City, Maryland was supposedly possessed by a demon and then exorcised by two priests.
