Incredible true story

I found this book through the author’s appearances on art bells radio program. The book was well worth the credit.

The narration was good and the stories were incredible. The five stories were each surprisingly unique.

This is a heavy topic for those of us who believe in it and for that reason it can be difficult to listen to at times.

Not good

Most of these were taken at the time of V2. The disrespect for the faith bothered me. I stopped listening after the second exorcism

It was worth it to get but still pretty rough.

Two problems I had with this story,
One I did not like the churches biases added to the story they could’ve told the story with out adding the biases of the church,
Two at the end of the book they give you a word for word DIY exorcism what I find dangerous about that is if you give the blueprints to a bomb to a person they’re going to try to make one. So with all the danger they put in this book about possession why would they have a word for word telling at the end of the book it’s like asking for trouble in my opinion other than that I enjoyed the book immensely.

Foul, graphic sexual content.

chose not to finish this one. I was just put off by the foul, graphic sexual content. Nobody thinks demons play nice, but a bit too much for me.

Informative and Captivating

Malachi was fantastic at describing the events of the exorcisms. He describes the features and sounds so well that you can firmly grasp the emotions of the characters. The narrator had an actually pleasant voice for the book. He didn't go overboard at all.

Interesting scary stories, very real in detail. The thing that I dont like about this books is always the catholic supremacy above al belief. And religions. I really read it because of that morbid curiosity about this stories; I do believe is real dont get me wrong but maybe I will stay in fiction or best sellers instead of religious things
