Book one: Ed and Lorraine Warren: The Enfield Poltergeist: In the town of Enfield England almost 40 years ago supernatural occurrences would start a chain of events that would bring the world's most famous paranormal investigators, the Warrens, there to investigate.

Book two: Amityville: An Ed and Lorraine Warren file. Amityville has become a name that invokes images of death and supernatural horror.

Book three: The Exorcist: Father Gabriele Amoth: In this book you are introduced to the Vatican's top paranormal investigator and exorcist. The book also features a brief review of the case that inspired the greatest horror film of all time, The Exorcist.

Book four: The Borley Rectory: A Harry Price File. This book introduces you to the legendary paranormal investigator Harry Price. He helped to show the world that the investigation of the paranormal could be elevated to a respected science. The Borley rectory, before it burned down, was considered to be the most haunted place on earth.

Book five: Gaurav Tiwari: Death of a Ghost Hunter. Tiwari was well on his way to becoming one of the world's top paranormal investigators when he was found dead under strange circumstances. Being a paranormal investigator seems like fun, but death and how it may have happened has been a stark reminder that dealing with supernatural forces can be a life-or-death deal.

Reads like a padded high school research paper.

I don't recommend. This reads like a padded high school research paper.The content is just regurgitated snippets from many sources. Poorly written & read. Listening the audio really draws attention to the lazy writing and lack of editing.

Nothing To Move Me

When I listen to an audiobook, I want the book to move me....to teach me something new or to inspire me. This book did not do it for me. This is a collection of books, however, there were so many that repeated the same paranormal event in several of the books, without adding anything insightful or different than what it said in the earlier book....really disappointing. The narrators voice also just did not do anything for me, maybe he was bored with the book too?

GOOD BOOK W SOME GOOD INFO

I found the subject of the books highly interesting, and each "book" provided a lot of information about each of the occurrences, all of which were very fascinating stories. I love Ed & Lorraine Warren, so anything involving them is peaking my interest. It's not a complete comprehensive account, but it's some good info and I found it entertaining. All in all a good job :)

A Little Repetitive

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This reference series based on facts and personalities involved in paranormal activities, is interesting enough, but I wouldn't suggest listening to all the books at once. The reason for that is the fact that it is not always clear when one book ends and the other starts and some of the information on experts and incidents are repeated in various books so that the narrative becomes a little redundant and repetitive. I happen to have met two of the investigators the books refers to, Ed and Lorraine Warren, at the time the Amityville case erupted. I was then working for an international chain of magazines that asked me to do an article on that event. We met with the Warrens for an interview and they were very cooperative but can only present us with theories at the time. This series doesn't provide much more than that. If you are looking for concrete proofs, you will not find them here. That said, the series is still interesting and the narration fine enough if a little dry.
