Hey everybody. I just got done reading the novel "Grandma's Little
Darling" by Stephen R George, and absolutely loved it. I'm looking
for more novels along the same line- A young girl gets possessed or
is forced into a life exchange. I would prefer it be F2F but I dont
have a problem with a male possessing a little girl. I would prefer
it not be demonic possession like in the Exorcist, where the enity
was never human to start with. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Try "The Influence" by Ramsey Campbell. A little girl's great aunt
forces her out of her after she dies, the girl spends most of the
novel as a ghost fighting to regain control of her body. Its a bit
dated (early 80s) but still a good read.

"Hitchers" by Will McIntosh contains a minor example (if you're
reading it just for this element, you're probably going to be
disappointed). An terrorist attack causes a percent of the
population to share their body with a ghost. A scene or two
contains a little girl possessed by a pedophile.

Its funny you mentioned Stephen R George, because he wrote another
book with that very subject. It was called Torment. A young piano
prodigy from a poor family dies in a car accident, then takes
possession of the body of another girl from wealthy family that she
always envied. It doesn't just happen all at once thought. The
other girl gradually takes on her personality and talents. The
possessed girl's father even has an affair with the dead girl's
mother, much to the ghost girl's delight. Its pretty twisted, it
was part of the old Zebra horror novels that "Grandma's Little
Darling" came from, hence the reason I remembered it.

What was the twist ending of the novel?

Do you mean Torment? I said it was twisted as in disturbing, not
twist ending. I would say the ending was pretty standard for horror
novel. The dead girl's spirit gets exorsized and is joined with her
mother in the afterlife who died during the course of the novel.
The living girl's father reconciles with his estranged wife. That's
about the best I can remember. Its been at least 10 years sense I
read it.

Well, that certainly meets my criteria for a novel about possessed
little girls, and by the same author no less. Any more suggestions?
Please keep them coming everyone!

I meant "Grandma's Little Darling", but sure I'll try and look for
more novels. I think I remember one.

Warning Spoiler for Grandma's Little Darling:
In the book Nora is a foster child who finally gets adopted by a
loving family, although be it with a creepy Grandmother. The
Grandmother was actually possessed months before during a car
accident by a being called Lemena. 5,000 years before she was the
trophy wife of a wealthy Arab merchant. She was a vain and selfish
woman obssesed with her own beauty and wealth and jealous that her
beaufiul teenage daughter had been chosen to marry a wealthy
prince. She goes to a local magician who offers to switch her and
her daughters bodes if she will convince the prince to allow him to
live in the palace. She agrees and their bodies are switched. The
prince is quite happy with his highly sexual but still virgin wife.
When the magician comes to the palace to get his part of the
bargain, she goes back on her deal for fear that her secret will be
found out. So the magician ends up telling the prince about what
has really occured and they go to confront his newest wife. Instead
they find her a near mindless drooling simpleton, and the magician
reveals that he didn't just switch her body but gave her the power
to switch bodies with any other female. Believing that Lemena is
possessing one of his other wives bodies he orders that they all be
burned alive. Its revealed that Lemena had actually switched bodies
with an infant that had been transported through the palace
earlier. Fast forward 5,000 and we end up with the current
situation with Nora and the Grandmother. Lemena had been forced to
possess the aged body of the grandmother when her previous host had
been fatally injured in a car accident and the grandmother and her
husband had stopped to help her. The grandfather later realized
that his real wife had died in the injured body of the driver and
that this being had taken over her body in exchange. Unfortuantely,
this revelation comes months later and he is disgusted by both this
creature and the fact he repeatidly allowed himself to be sexually
seduced by it. He dies of heart attack (during sex) and the
"grandmother" goes to live with her "son" who thinks that her
personality change is just do to grief over her husband's death. So
this is the situation Nora finds herself in when she comes live
with her new adoptive family. It turns out the Invader has been
waiting just for her because it can only possess female bodies and
knew that the family was adopting a 12 year old girl. One of the
other powers of the invader is to retain the memories of each host,
so thats why its targeting Nora. Eventually the switch does occur
and Nora is trying to convince people to believe her, like her
adoptive brother and her former social worker Cheryl who was very
close to her. Eventually she does convince the two of them of her
plight but not before she suffers a heart attack and is forced to
go to the hospital. While there she realizes that she can also view
the past memories of her body and even switch bodies like the
Invader. She almost switches bodies with a young nurse but pulls
back at the last moment when she realizes how wrong it is.
Eventually they try to capture the Invader in Nora's body but this
is easier said than done due to the Invader being able to enhance
the speed and strength of its host. Eventually they get Cheryl's
husband to drug the Invader into unconscienceness and its seems
like Nora is about to return to her real body. But at the last
minute the Invader blocks the exchange just as the grandmother's
body suffers another heart attack. Desperate not to die, Nora
forces an exchange with the only other female body available which
is Cheryl who dies in the grandmother's body. Fast forward a week
and Nora uses Cheryl's memories to do her job as a social worker.
She even checks in on the Invader/New Nora who is amused by the
fact that there are now two of them. The adoptive brother complains
to "Cheryl" that "Nora" still doesn't seem quite right but Cheryl
brushes aside his concerns. Later Nora/Cheryl is realizing that she
will need to jump to a new body real soon after her "husband"
becomes suspicous of her after she uses a new sexual technique on
him that she plucked from the Invader's past memories. The very
last page ends with Nora/Cheryl regretting her final actions and
the fact that she will also never get to see Cheryl in Heaven, but
also the sinister note of how she is also excited by all the new
lives she is going to be able to live from now on.

Ok, Lori, you got me hooked on this subject. I just placed an order
for Grandma's Little Darling, Torment, and the Influence from
Amazon. Got any other suggestions, anyone?

That does look pretty cool. Still, i wish someone would adapt
"Grandma's little darling" into a movie instead. With that
fantastic summery Lori gave it just sounds like the best story
mentioned so far.

Just finished "Grandma's Little Darling." Single best body swap
story I've ever read. Thanks for posting it.

Ordered Grandma's little darling from amazon a week ago. I just had
to read it after that summery. It was the single best
possession/body swap story I ever. Ending was a bit of a downer,
but they all can't end happy! Any more recommendations like that?
Anyone?! I need more!
