📝 Description: My Exorcism Killed Me

Rick Wood delivers a supernatural thriller in My Exorcism Killed Me, the second entry in The Sensitives series. The narrative centers on Julian and Derek, two experienced exorcists who have successfully defeated hundreds of demons. Their professional confidence is shaken when they confront a haunting that originates not from hell, but from their own past failures. Specifically, the story addresses Anna, an eleven-year-old girl who was once possessed and whom they failed to save. Her death remains a persistent burden for the protagonists, serving as a reminder of the risks they face. The plot unfolds as these buried memories resurface with tangible consequences. The book explores the psychological weight of past trauma on those who deal with the supernatural. It draws on traditions of possession and exorcism to create a tense atmosphere. The narrative structure focuses on the relationship between the two men and their shared guilt. This is not a story about new demons, but about old ghosts that refuse to stay buried. This title suits readers who enjoy character-driven horror with a focus on psychological dread. It appeals to fans of The Sensitives series who want to see how past failures impact present actions. Those seeking lighthearted supernatural comedy or pure action without emotional stakes may find the tone too heavy. Wood’s background in crafting such narratives positions him well for this genre. The book is published by Blood Splatter Press and offers a grim look at redemption and regret.
