Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist

Written by R. H. Stavis and Sarah Durand

Narrated by R. H. Stavis

The world’s only non-denominational exorcist—the subject of a forthcoming major motion picture—tells her astonishing true story: a riveting chronicle of wrestling entities from infected souls, showing how pain and trauma opens us to attachment from forces that drain our energy . . . and can even destroy our humanity.

As a secular exorcist, Rachel H. Stavis has cleansed thousands of tormented people, from small children and Hollywood moguls to stay-at-home moms and politicians. But for many years, the horror screenwriter and novelist denied her gift. As a little girl, she began to see ""monsters"" floating around her bedroom or attached to other children. Told it was only her imagination, Rachel learned to ignore the things she saw.

But a series of events in adulthood forced her to acknowledge her unique ability and embrace her power to heal. Since then, Rachel has dedicated her life to helping others cast off the forces feeding off of us. Performing her services pro-bono, she quietly worked in the shadows, until she unknowingly revealed her work to a journalist, who told her story to NPR.

A unique look at demonology removed from religious dogma, Sister of Darkness recounts Rachel’s journey to becoming an exorcist and chronicles some of her most extreme cleansings cases, including those that put her and her clients in peril. Going deep into her world, we meet the diverse range of people she has helped—young, old, famous and not—in gripping stories of danger and sometimes sadness, that are ultimately about redemption. Rachel teaches us that there are a diverse range of ""entities"" surrounding us—some of these are playful or misguided, while some are dangerous and harmful. She introduces each of them and explains their power, helping us understand what is attacking and hurting us, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Frightening, eye-opening, and utterly enthralling, Sister of Darkness brings to light a world ruled by destruction, chaos and fear, and the woman who bravely fights to protect those who seeks her out.

This is really great. She's very California and that is all right. Factor in that culture as you would any. This most interesting cos in essence there is something very shaministic a out her gifts and methods. And if modern exorcism works for some it is what it is. The gist of really getting her message is to listen very closely. Inner demons, family bullshit, high anxieties, traumas, haunting memories, bad vibe places and toxic associations will eventually take their toll. I feel the authour was generous to a fault with near tell-all details and I am concerned others might take this book as more of an advert. Hopefully they don't miss some truly helpful points.

Fascinating read! I loved this dive into the world of a modern day exorcist! I listen to a lot of audio books and I couldn’t stop listening to this one until it ended. Can’t wait to listen to Rachel’s next book and look forward to her upcoming film and TV series.

I was so impressed with this book! I have to be honest… I’m not religious and don’t really believe in the “devil”, but I do believe in - and have experienced- entities. I’m grateful for Rachael’s perspective, experience and extremely hard work to help those who experience these lower vibrational energies. She gave me a language to understand what I’ve experienced and I loved the recipes at the end to help with protection. Her stories and lived experiences are heroic and inspiring! I highly recommend reading!
