The Twilight Zone: The Original Stories- 30 of the best episodes of the original television series in prose short story form. A must have for TZ lovers such as myself.

Glad you're referring to it as The Possessed and not The Demons or The Devils. Shows you probably have the Garnett translation. I have 'em, but the best one is the Garnett. Have a Modern Library hardcover edition. It's blue. Just looked and it only has one copyright date...1936. I'd forgotten. Hmm, might be worth a little. I got it used, but it's in great shape. Someone named Betty Hester used to own it. It's definitely one of his longest, but pretty sure The Brothers Karamazov is the lengthiest.
I think it's great too. The Stavrogin's Confession (At Tihon's) chapter is some messed-up stuff. It was often banned way back when. It's less symbolic and less of an outright undeniable masterpiece than Crime & Punishment, but it is without a doubt a more multi-layered critique of Nihilism.
