Author William Peter Blatty has died at the age of 89. I first read The Exorcist in high School and not being religious, I thought that it made a decent horror story, but not much else. His work certainly didn't capture my interest like Lovecraft. I seem to recall that my mother had been so disturbed by the book when she read it in the 1970s that she burned it. I'm not sure where my copy is, but maybe I'll read it again someday.
