Robert Hugh Benson — son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose conversion to Rome in 1903 was a public scandal — brings a priest's clinical calm to the supernatural. On holiday in Rome, a dozen Catholic priests sit up after dinner and tell one another, as professionals, what they have actually encountered: a possession, a house that will not be blessed, a deathbed that went terribly wrong. Told as sober case notes, the effect is deeply unsettling. This edition presents the complete and unabridged collection, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
