SIGNED The Exorcist FIRST EDITION 1st Printing William Peter BLATTY 1971
Octavo, one-quarter bound cloth with cloth sides. First Edition, First Printing of William Peter Blatty's classic, The Exorcist. A very nice autographed example. William Peter Blatty's novel "took the horror genre out of the specialist category and into the bestseller racks" (Horror 100 Best 68) and is considered "a landmark of modern horror fiction that grounds the classic battle between Good and Evil in the generation gap of the 1960s and explores the incongruity of religious faith in the modern secular world" (Fantasy and Horror 6-36). An intelligent exploration of possession and exorcism an intense and dark theodicy.

The screen version [released 1973], with its realistic and shocking effects, transformed the horror movie and revived the moribund horror fiction market (Clute & Grant, 119). The 1973 film version, directed by William Friedkin, starred Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, and Linda Blair. Binding tight with light slant. Original cloth boards present mostly clean and unmarked with some tiny spots and light scratch to front.

Moderate wear to edges and rubbing to corners with a bit of loss. Bump to front top edge.

Light wear to hinges, more moderate to head and foot of spine with some fading. Text-blocks bright and clean but for a mild stain to bottom. Name neatly penned to top fore-edge corner of front pastedown. Otherwise, internally clean and unmarked.

Signed by the Author on the front endpaper. Dust Jacket presents very well with mostly clean edges but for a couple tiny chips and a single closed tear to bottom front with a light fold. Very mild chipping to corners and head and foot of spine with the tiniest amount of loss and creasing.
