It is a world like our own in every respect ... save one. In the 1950s,
random acts of possession begin to occur. Ordinary men, women, and
children are the targets of entities that seem to spring from the depths
of the collective unconscious, pop-cultural avatars some call demons.
There's the Truth, implacable avenger of falsehood. The Captain, brave
and self-sacrificing soldier. The Little Angel, whose kiss brings death,
whether desired or not. And a string of others, ranging from the bizarre
to the benign to the horrific.

As a boy, Del Pierce is possessed by the Hellion, an entity whose
mischief-making can be deadly. With the help of Del's family and a caring
psychiatrist, the demon is exorcised ... or is it? Years later, following
a car accident, the Hellion is back, trapped inside Del's head and
clamoring to get out.

Del's quest for help leads him to Valis, an entity possessing the science
fiction writer formerly known as Philip K. Dick; to Mother Mariette,
a nun who inspires decidedly unchaste feelings; and to the Human League,
a secret society devoted to the extermination of demons. All believe that
Del holds the key to the plague of possession-and its solution. But for
Del, the cure may be worse than the disease.
