Editorial Reviews

Review

My research relied heavily on The Demonologist. It scared the daylights out of me. Profoundly. --Vera Farmiga (Academy Award Nominee), Philstar.com

I watch/read a lot of scary stories. But, The Demonologist, true life account of Ed & Lorraine Warren, is the scariest book I've read. --James Wan, Director of 'The Conjuring' and 'The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist'

For people with some knowledge of general paranormal studies, and people who work in the area of paranormal studies, Ed and Lorraine Warren are both known and unknown. They are known in the general sense that people have either heard a lot of secondhand (and generally false) information about them, or they have seen either some of their TV appearances (as I have in approximately 1978); and they are unknown in the more particular sense that people may not know the names, and if they do, they seem to quite often dismiss them as crackpots. Obviously the movie, THE CONJURING, has been one key to bring attention to Ed and Lorraine Warren, but in my own experience they crop up as secondhand references in the works of tabloid style writers, and sometimes (if I recall correctly) they will appear in books by Hans Holzer and others associated with more sensational cases. The book has a copyright of 1980 renewed 2002, so in some respects the material may be a little dated.
As genuinely scary as the collection of cases presented in this book are, the characters of Ed and Lorraine come forward as people who are genuine and and also sincere in their own personal faith. I first saw Ed and Lorraine Warren on TV in Australia on what was called the DON LANE SHOW: they presented some tapes of a British case which they were investigating where voices of terrifying ferocity came across in a brief extract. This case is mentioned briefly in the book and is discussed and analyzed. The
one thing that comes across in the book, as well as in interviews associated with the production of the film THE CONJURING, is that Ed and Lorraine pioneered some very systematic methods of investigation. Whilst this is not entirely focused upon, it is mentioned. The detail in some of the discussion of the cases gives enough references for people who want to follow up the material, but it is very clear that Ed (especially) gives some stern and serious warnings about playing with the psychic and paranormal fields if you do not have either the personal stability, or the network of associates to back you up in your investigations. For those who do not believe or give any credence to the type of events that Ed and Lorraine investigate, this book may very well constitute a good spooky read. If it is used as a reference work by some horror writers, as I have heard/read that it is, then this book will pay off in droves. The bibliography will also supply a plethora of material. Also if you look at some of the associated books on Amazon about the screaming house, and some other books about Ed and Lorraine Warren which a more recent, you can find an abundance of either entertainment, or warnings (depending on your point of view). Either way, this book is an excellent read.

This book is pretty insightful if you want to learn more about Ed & Lorraine Warren. It goes in depth, to an extent, of some of their most famous cases. I could go on and on but I honestly think if you want to read for yourself then it is definitely worth getting your hands on. To set the mood, I read this around October to take advantage of the already spooky energy. I decided to reread during the summer and I can say, there is a certain mood you subject yourself to when reading something so heavy when you're really digesting the material. I would encourage breaks in between chapters, mental clarity is always good.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is so much to take in from this book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010

Please know this book is a work of FACT--not fiction.
This is not an autobiography of Ed and Lorraine Warren, but it is a book about their cases, their conversations, and an indepth look into their work.
As Ed Warren explains,there are supposedly only a handful of real Demonologists that we know of, all Catholic priests, and himself. And this work in demonology entails assisting Catholic priests who have the authority to conduct the Rite of an exorcism.
This is year 2010 and unfortunately Ed Warren has passed away but before doing so, I found out that he and Lorraine have worked together dealing with the paranormal for over 40 years. In the book they tell us about some of their cases, about their lectures, as well as what they do with a possessed item--so that it can no longer terrorize the people who owned it prior to their help. That you will find very, very interesting! I sure did!

Each time I would pick this book up to continue reading, I would ask for God's grace, keeping me safe in His Light, for my own protection from the paranormal, since I was dwelling in it by reading a book about it. I also used a book mark that had Jesus on it. It is a fearful thing...entities/spirits/demons...can come through into your life quite easily, even if you do not wish for them to do so.
Once I started the book, in no time at all I had grabbed a yellow marker and was highlighting so much information...conversations that the Warrens had with people, priests, exorcists, spirits and demons! The information was so overwhelming, I wanted to remember many aspects for when studying other paranormal materials.

The Warrens explain that it is very easy for a demon to infest/possess a person who is more friendly and nice compared to a person who has many of their own issues. It is when they gain entrance through a person who invites spirits to join them in things such as playing with an Oujiu board, interest with the occult, witchcraft, or buying a house with spirits already in it that are still 'earth bound'...those things are inlets for demon spirits.
There is so much else you will learn from the Warrens but I want to point something else out, and that is...a simple spirit/ghost, can move something that weights a pound or two. A demonic spirit can move or elevate just about anything!

Feel safe with this book, as it is the last truth that is in publication about Ed and Lorraine Warren, in their own words. It is a study of this couple with the denomic paranormal. And also you will find (whether or not you are a believer in God) that demons are believers.
And that is a good enough reason to ask God to keep me in His Light or His Presence or something of that nature as I tackle this book and any other paranormal study! But most of all, stay away from Ouji boards!
I hope you will enjoy this great book about the Warrens and their cases. This author did a terrific job. But I still wish that the Warrens would have written their own autobiography. This book will certainly do though...I hated to have it end.

Che si creda o meno nel paranormale, che si abbia o meno una fede religiosa, questo è indubbiamente un libro ben scritto, dove tutto viene narrato chiaramente e semplicemente.
I Warren, pur essendo Cattolici, hanno collaborato con ministri di culto appartenenti a diverse religioni e aiutato chi si trovasse nel bisogno, a prescindere dalla loro fede (o assenza di essa). Non c’è inoltre nessun morboso attaccamento alla religione né viene posta in atto un’opera di convincimento a favore della religione, tanto che non ritengo sia necessario credere in Dio per leggere e apprezzare questo libro. Indubbiamente, che si creda o meno, qualche brivido qua e là lo lascia.
Il testo non è tradotto in italiano e, a meno che non si abbia una buona padronanza della lingua inglese (livelli C1/C2 per intenderci), non mi sento di consigliarne la lettura.

Totalmente recomendable para cualquier persona en busca de la verdad, pasando de historias new age. Es bastante impactante porque cuenta la verdad tal cual, si eres muy sensible, mejor no lo veas. Da detalles suficientes como para entender qué hay detrás de lo que aquí llamamos "demonios", pero nunca caen en el morbo. Hay rondas de preguntas y respuestas con el matrimonio Warren donde son directos y honestos. Llevo años estudiando el tema y este libro resume bastante bien lo que he aprendido, aunque en algún momento deja de profundizar sobre el origen de estas entidades demoníacas (entiendo que por prudencia y responsabilidad), da una visión todo lo amplia y profunda que la sociedad puede aceptar ahora mismo.

J'ai souhaité m'intéresser un peu plus aux histoires surnaturelles de Ed et Lorraine Warren , celui-ci contient plusieurs histoires , plusieurs affaires qu'ils ont pu vivre dont entre autres le cas Annabelle , amytiville etc ...
Livre en anglais mais pas compliqué en soit si l'on connait l'anglais.
Si jamais vous avez envie d'en savoir un peu plus sur certains de leur cas et que vous n'avez pas peur de l'anglais foncé !
