Huh. You're the second person I've ever seen refer to that book as Demons. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 05:35:19 AM
Other than the edition in question, all other books I've seen of it give the title as The Possessed.


EDIT: Never mind, looked it up. Apparently "Possessed" was an incorrect title given by the original translator. Which leads me to wonder how the original translator could have screwed up on the passive voice.

I suppose if you're interested in the development of the thriller/adventure novel, Cooper is okay. Ghavrel - 11/01/2010 02:04:29 PM 504 Views
