A Novel
Bookseller recommendation
“Dark, funny, and filled with 1980's nostalgia. Definitely atmospheric and took you to Charleston, South Carolina. I enjoyed this as an audiobook listen. Fairly low key with scary bits and gore. It sort of built up to it in the last few chapters. The demonic possession was definitely front and center, but it was also a great story about friendship, social class, and complicated families. This feels like a natural choice for my Stranger Things fans.”

“Hey you got your horror tribute to the 80's in my Meddling Kids! Well you got your horror tribute to Scooby Doo in my Best Friend's Exorcism! Two great books that go better together! My Best Friend's Exorcism is one of my new favorites. It's got 80's pop songs, it has a demonic tapeworm, it's got scares, it's got heart; everything you could ever want! Meddling Kids is a great follow up as it's also a love-letter to a bygone era, that being the 70's and Scooby Doo. It's just Scooby meets Cthulhu and it's honestly one of the most fun things I've read in a while.”

A heartwarming story of friendship and demonic possession
The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since the fourth grade. But after an evening of skinny dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act … different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby.
Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries—and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?
Like an unholy hybrid of Beaches and The Exorcist, My Best Friend’s Exorcism blends teen angst, adolescent drama, unspeakable horrors, and a mix of 80s pop songs into a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller.

Emily Woo Zeller began her voice-over career by voicing animation in Asia. She returned to the United States in 2009 and found a natural fit as an audiobook narrator. Described by AudioFile magazine as doing "an extraordinary job of varying the voices in the dialogue without losing the intimacy of the story," Emily's multilingual, multicultural framework brings a particularly unique, clear-eyed, and intimate perspective into Asian American narratives. While she specializes in Asian American narratives, Emily's work spans a broad spectrum, including young adult fiction and such titles as The Whites of Their Eyes by Jill Lepore and The Sex Diaries Project by Arianne Cohen. She also narrated Gulp by Mary Roach, for which she won an AudioFile Earphones Award.
