It's the first Blatty I ever read (immediately after I took the movie in - 1973). And the author has expressed that <i>The Ninth Configuration</i> has always been his <i>unofficial</i> sequel to that tale. His official sequel remains <i>Legion</i>, and if you get back and finish <i>The Exorcist</i>, I highly recommend you follow it up with <i>Legion</i>. Those three are a remarkable set (you'll instantly recognize some of the same terrificly written dialogue as like <i>Ninth</i>).<br /><br />And I see the author has finally come out again with a new book, which I'm going to have to pick up: <a href="http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/blatty01" rel="nofollow">Elsewhere</a>.

And Blatty did a pretty decent adaptation for the screen (which he also directed). That's worth checking out, too. And the author does a very good commentary track, as well.
