The Benefits of Demon Possession

Sammi K Mott’s debut novel ‘The Benefits of Demon Possession’ is out now!

The Benefits of Demon Possession

This deliciously dark and morbidly funny tale follows Stella Corantine, a cynical young woman suffocating under the weight of her own life. With a stagnant career, a barren social life, and toxic relationship with the mother she lives with, Stella craves change. Who wouldn’t? But wishes have a nasty way of backfiring.

After finding out that her comfortable yet soul-crushing job is at risk of redundancy, Stella knocks back more drinks at the work party than doctor’s guidelines would recommend. Staggering through the streets of London, her phone dead and her sense of direction worse than ever, she stumbles across an unassuming telephone box. Desperate, she dials a number scrawled inside its crimson walls and pleads for help. The deal is sealed.

From that moment, Stella is slowly, inexorably consumed by an obsession with pleasure. Nothing is ever enough. The more she indulges, the more reckless she becomes. Like a pendulum in violent swing, she is ruled by her lust and rage, and at the fever pitch of her fury, she unleashes her demonic wrath, spiraling into the abyss of her own making.
