This was an enjoyable story by Rob E Boley. Possession, with a chance of redemption at the end. Interesting take on this subject. Look forward to more from Rob E Boley.

Having no control of her body for months, but being aware of everything that was happening to it, was the least of Carrie's problems. The demons that possessed her body have destroyed her life, riddled her body with disease and have left her homeless.
 After the demons are literally ripped from her body, Carrie has to move on with her life. Now she sees ghosts and is aware of others who have been through the same thing. She has the ability to help these strangers, but should she?  What has she got left to lose? 

  The Body Will Follow is a weirdly entertaining novella. Thank God it was a short story, I'm not sure I could read a lengthy book about this type of possession. lol There was a lot packed into the story, and a lot of it was gross.lol
  The writer definitely shocked me with all the sex, body fluids and bondage. Some of it was funny, I did laugh, but mostly cringed. I figured when you walk away from demonic possession you have some scars and carnage, not every STD in the book! lol But then again, these demons only wanted lustfull satisfaction.
 What a bizarre story! Definitely something to break up the monotonous reading I have been doing lately. Even though I'm a little embarrassed I picked this book as a palette cleanser, I have no regrets. Not a single page.

A novella is full of potential. 
To get an insight into a new author and/or embrace a little explored genre is what a short story can offer.

The Body Will Follow by Rob E Boley provided such an opportunity for me. To read some horror; and meet a new writer comfortable in telling scary tales.
Here then was more than a ghost story. A shocking tale, of possession and dehumanisation by the lack of control and consciousness in one’s actions and body’s desires. Since they are driven by nefarious spirits craving perverse sexual encounters and physical pleasure.
This is the story of Carrie, a normal career minded woman with friends and close family relationships.
We first meet, Carrie the possessed, a carnal being, who in lucid moments is aware of her lack of control and personal depravity.
Somehow she must wrestle back control but salvation comes from an unexpected source, leading to a brutal exorcism. She is offered hope but feels lost and empty. Returning to her home, she finds her home destroyed, her credit maxed out. Listening to her unanswered phone messages she realises she has no-one left among family and friends to turn to and without a job. With the police after her she is forced to go on the run and live on the streets.

A clever story about what we value in life; like how we perhaps we don’t appreciate stuff until we lose it. How controlling some folk can be of others and how we can easily fall between the cracks in life as Carrie becomes a homeless person with all her bridges burned.
By chance she meets Daniel, who she remembers showed her some humanity when she was possessed and out of control. He perhaps has other motives.
I was hooked with the journey Carrie had to make to find answers and make amends. If she could rebuild relationships or would just have to start again by re-inventing herself. This begs the question if we lie to others and cease to be ourselves are we not again allowing external factors to control our lives. Nothing though may be more damaging than the physical possession she endured,  as we see Carrie’s life continue to unravel with the challenge multiple partners and risky unprotected sex.
Humour is a constant source of balance, to offset the darkness and an introduction to the alternative reality in which Carrie finds herself, for now she can now see ghosts. I particularly loved the reading of auras in the people she encountered and the colours as described by their association with familiar hues - this was a constant theme which I never grew tired of reading.
Ultimately it is a book about the human spirit; our need to communicate and be more honest with others. We might not be able to see ghosts but many people pass by others as though they were invisible, or because of shame or a sense of feeling better than others, so just fail to engage with them.
I loved the story as a simple story of fantasy. Where imagination can be allowed to explore and discover alternative realities. But for me, at the same time within the make believe I had a sense of reality. The need for restoration, fixing things, helping out, being less judgement and seeing things from another’s perspective.

It’s safe to say that I didn’t make it far into the book before I had to stop.

After reading “my body rode him like a rodeo until he came” I laughed out loud and deleted the book from my library.

I have read a lot of shocking books in my day and I love find them weird and underground ones but they need to be done right. This was all wrong and was a joke to the underground horror community.

Oof. This one was rough. I saw a few mixed reviews, but wanted to give it a shot anyways. Who doesn’t love a good possession story? However, this was not it. 
The concept was there. Execution, not so much. I give props to the author for writing a main female character, but he should have also had a women read the book to verify the viewpoint. It just felt off and pretty cringy to me.

This was weird, plain and simple... This. Was. Weird. At the same time, I truly didn't hate it. I rather enjoyed reading it. Strange as it is because this king of book isn't what I would ever just pick up for myself. But the cover is so intriguing and the title as well... Upon reading reviews for this, I came across some really bad ones, and then reviews that explained that they read this book because of it's bad reviews, and while that one was much more cohesive and thoughtful, was still a pretty low review. So I decided to give it a shot... I mean it was an under 200 page read, so what did I have to lose?

The Body Will Follow is about a woman named Carrie who is being possessed by not one spirit, but a mass of them. They have been inside her body for a few months and in that time, they have ruined her runner's body by gorging on as much food as they can cram into her mouth and have partaken AT LENGTH in debaucherous sex with multiple partners, riddling her with stds, draining her bank accounts, ruining her friendships, relationships and her career... When she all of a sudden wakes up to a woman atop her, exorcising the monsters in her body, we get a ridiculously graphic play by play of the exorcism process.

Let me tell you, this book is pretty graphic. There are depictions of sex and some graphic accounts of what Carrie's body goes through in various phases throughout the book. But, none of this stuff bothers me in books. After she is no longer possessed, she has to deal with the aftermath of the months where she wasn't herself. Her home is a completely irreparable dump. She has no money and nobody to turn to... Until she realizes that she remembers, through the fog of her possession, one of the *ahem* partners she had, a guy who seemed to be genuinely kind to her, and collapses outside his home.

The guy, Daniel, was what truly made this book a four star for me. He was so kind to Carrie... like unrealistically so, considering the last time they saw each other, she left him tied up in his kitchen after a night of sex and then eating all the food from his fridge... But he is good to her and the friendship that they form, while unlikely, is great. The humor their banter brings to this book had me chuckling.

The quirky humor in this book was another compelling aspect for me. The fact that Boley could take such terrible experiences and make it funny made for a fun reading experience. This book was FUNNY. So, now we have two unlikely friends, Carrie and Daniel, who go around living this weirdly platonic, but very domestic life together. She starts to see ghosts, and ultimately, finds another person who is possessed as she was.

This book won't be for everyone, but I am so glad that I jumped on this one. It was just the right side of strange that it totally worked. It was dark and funny, with just the right amount of length to keep yo fully engaged without getting bored. I feel like if this were a full length novel, I would not have liked it nearly as much. It held my attention perfectly and I look forward to checking out more from this author.
