Hail to another C.S. Lewis fan!
Actually, I've been reading up on exorcism. Terrifying stuff. I don't know much about C.S. Lewis to be honest, although I've heard many good things.

You really have to read C.S. Lewis! From posts of yours I've read, I think you really would love
The Chronicles of Narnia; look for them in the children's section. The adult trilogy is also excellent (
Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and
That Hideous Strength, my own favorite; I think I've read it about 20 times at least). Perhaps the best of the essays to start with is
God in the Dock; most of the essays in it were written in the 40s, and it's amazing how he spotted the trends that have just gotten worse.
Even then, he was saying the choice is becoming more clear and inevitable, the choice "between Mordred and Arthur."

Can you recommend anything that would be educational, as opposed to "just scary?"

I recommend you read some Lewis starting with the Screwtape Letters. You’ve already stated the premise.
