Eksorsismo

Eksorsismo: Where Faith Is the Last Door and Evil Seeks a Name
By William Ubagan

In the quiet town of Santo Tomas, something beneath the earth is waking.

Michelle, a young Filipina nun-in-training, arrives at a secluded convent seeking a life of devotion and service. Haunted by a childhood tragedy she has never fully confronted, she believes faith will help her bury the past. Instead, she finds herself at the center of a growing terror.

When a troubled girl named Shena begins exhibiting violent and unmistakable signs of possession, the local priest, Father Damian, attempts a traditional exorcism. But what emerges is not a single demon—it is something older, something fractured and cunning. It does not merely seek a body. It seeks a name. It seeks consent.

As cracks split the chapel floor and fire rises where no flame should burn, Michelle realizes her arrival in Santo Tomas was not coincidence. The entity haunting the town feeds on grief, temptation, shame, and the desperate human desire to matter. It evolves with every failed attempt to contain it—shifting from terror to seduction, from accusation to persuasion.

The battle becomes more than a fight for Shena’s soul. It becomes a confrontation with Michelle’s own past—an unfinished moment of fear that may have opened the first door.

Blending supernatural horror with psychological and spiritual depth, Eksorsismo explores themes of trauma, redemption, and identity. Through ancient Latin prayers, escalating manifestations, and claustrophobic tension, the novel asks a chilling question:

What if evil does not break in?

What if it waits for you to agree?

Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, Eksorsismo is a haunting tale of faith under siege—where the greatest exorcism is not only of demons, but of the lie that pain defines who we are.
