Publisher's summary

Demonic possession. Exorcism. Haunted Houses. Satanic Rituals.

For most people this is the stuff of nightmares, horror movies, folklore, and superstition. For New York City police Sergeant Ralph Sarchie, it's as real - and dangerous - as midnight patrol….

A 16-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But it is his other job that he calls "the Work": Investigating cases of demonic possession and assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient - and most dangerous - foes. Now he discloses for the first time his investigations into incredible true crimes and inhuman evil that were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcism, and an eyewitness to the reality of demonic possession, Ralph Sarchie has documented a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives a new shape to the shadows in the dark.

In Deliver Us from Evil, he takes listeners into the very hierarchy of a hell on Earth to expose the grisly rituals of a Palo Mayombe priest; a young girl whose innocence is violated by an incubus; a home invaded by the malevolent spirit of a supposedly murdered 19th-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were literally the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's revelations are a powerful and disturbing documented link between the true-crime realities of life and the blood-chilling ice-grip of a supernatural terror.

Dripping with Self-Righteousness

This book is preachy, repetitive, disorganized and filled with contradictions.

I bought this book because I loved the movie. What I loved about the movie is that while there was a religious element, there wasn't a mention of god every other sentences. This book does. It's extremely preachy in it's whole "The devil exist, believe in god or else this could happen to you. Pray every day, go to church once a week..." At the same time all the victims are catholic that aren't so zealous in their practice of religion. The book really lost me when he started on statistics about how believing in god raised your chances to survive things like heart surgery, and how it could cure you from depression and so on.

It also gets repetitive on many occasion in its explanations regarding how possession progresses, about how to do an exorcism, about which prayers to use and why. It's as if the authors touch a bunch of stories written as single short stories, put them one after the others without considering the book as a single piece.

It's very disjointed, drawing parallels with other stories happening before, going on religious tangent, and so on. There were a couple of time where I wondered how does this story finishes? It's like the last page of his report has gone missing and no one noticed?

Deliver us from evil

Ralph Sarchie teaches us to respect the evil that surrounds us...and ways to avoid it.

Was he a COP?

The story was great but every two minutes he reiterated how he was a tough guy COP. As I am married to a police officer, he would never refer to himself as a COP, it doesn't make you more believable to keep saying this over and over.
