The Devil Exists

This book contains more than scary stories. It has a wealth of information how we can be oppressed and/or possessed by diabolical beings and further explains how that happens giving the reader things we should and should not do to prevent falling victim to the devil.

Creeeeeeepy

What made the experience of listening to The Demonologist the most enjoyable?

I love being scared!

What did you like best about this story?

The story of Annabelle. I was so creeped out I couldn't listen to it when it got dark out. Saved it for my morning commute.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It makes me want to go visit their museum! During the day, of course.

Very interesting and informative

What did you love best about The Demonologist?

The true stories that were told.

What other book might you compare The Demonologist to and why?

I can't think of another book to compare to this one.

Which character – as performed by Todd Haberkorn – was your favorite?

I liked his characterization of Ed Warren. The reader I felt did a very very good job with all the voice characters in the book. He did exceptionally good with the voices of the demons.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Beware...can be damaging to you dreams.

Any additional comments?

I did not find the book terror filled and scary as others have mentioned. I found it certainly scary to a point. But I found it....in my belief system... very informative and educational. The book helped me to understand more about how we can avoid the demons of the world. And what can be done if the bad ones do come after us.

Mind Blowing

Where does The Demonologist rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This would be the highest ranking audiobook I have come across thus far.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Demonologist?

The most memorable moments in the demonologist are the documented visits with demons on recordings. Absolutely intriguing, would love an opportunity to visit the museum of the occult.

What about Todd Haberkorn’s performance did you like?

He gave an even keeled presentation not being over dramatic, but simply added credibility by a realistic voice. It was just a very matter of fact presentation of a very knowledgeable couple.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

The variances between different types of poltergeist activities, those that are contributed to ghosts and the very distinct actions of demon like activity.

Any additional comments?

This is a mind blowing piece, offering much insight into the history of hauntings in the United States and the world. In many senses, I believe this book would bring peace to those who currently are having interactions with presences.

My All Time Fave!

If you could sum up The Demonologist in three words, what would they be?

Art, Truth, Enlightening

What other book might you compare The Demonologist to and why?

Nothing, it is one of it's own.

What does Todd Haberkorn bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings it to life. It is one of the biggest parts that makes this look so great. he uses different tones for the people involved, but not in a silly way. He is truly a mastermind in the best ways.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did in the aspect that i can;t stop coming back to it. It takes such a deep look into the paranormal and the lives of the Warrens. I learn more every time I re-listen.

Any additional comments?

Worth the credit or money. I recommend it to everyone.

I smell a grift

While I accept the existence of non physical therapy entities, and that some of them are definitely not “good,” I have to say that this over the top Hollywood’ification of all things demonic is mostly BS. This book could have been published as a pamphlet if you removed all the self-validation. And isn’t it interesting that the world isn’t flooded with video evidence of these nonsense manifestations post 1970’s?
