Description - Running from the Devil by Steve Kissing

What's a kid to do when recurring hallucinations lead him to believe that he's possessed by the devil? In the case of one boy with an over-active imagination and a Catholic parochial school upbringing, you don't tell a single soul for fear of being ridiculed, sent away for treatment, or perhaps even burned at the stake. Instead, you wage a private holy war against Satan. Based on an award-winning feature story, Running from the Devil is Steve Kissing's poignant, yet humorous, memoir about the remarkable steps he took to hide his condition-later discovered to be epilepsy - and exorcise his demons. The tale is a testament to the power of a child's imagination and religion's influence on an impressionable mind.
