In a Dark Place

De: Ed Warren, Lorraine Warren, Carmen Reed, Al Snedeker, Ray Garton

Narrado por: Todd Haberkorn

From Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists featured in The Conjuring horror films, comes the story of the most terrifying case of demonic possession in the United States. It became the basis for the hit film The Haunting in Connecticut starring Virginia Madsen. Shortly after moving into their new home, the Snedeker family is assaulted by a sinister presence that preys one-by-one on their family. Exhausting all other resources, they call up the world-renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who have never encountered a case as frightening as this.

No one had warned the Snedekers their new house used to be an old funeral home. Their battle with an inexplicable and savage phenomena had only just begun. What started as a simple poltergeist escalated into a full-scale war, an average American family battling the deepest, darkest forces of evil a war this family could not afford to lose.

A great scare

I'm familiar with this story as I've seen it on paranormal shows before, but the book gives more creepy details. The performance by the narrator was also great. Don't listen to it at night!

wow

outstanding narrator. intense story scary moments, down right paranormal stuff.
why would the family stay so long? all the $$$$ in the world or not having any would ever keep me in a house like that.

really enjoyed this audiobook

Awesome audiobook!!! I listened to it at bedtime. Good thing I started it on my days off!! I kept telling myself just one more chapter. If you love paranormal stuff, you will enjoy this!!!

A good haunted house story

The main story of a haunted house was good. It WAS a good story. But I think the unbelief went on way to long. It became not fun to listen to. So I did skip some chapters because I didn't want to hear that part anymore. But the last part of the book was very good. Over all I thought it was a good scary story.

Sounds like a good work of fiction

Okay, I enjoy a good ghost story... a lot. I even listened Coast to Coast AM back when Art Bell was alive and running the show. Did I actually believe many of the guests he had on the show? NO. This book falls into the same category. Excellent story, the descriptive narration actually caused me to consider turning on the light, as I listen to books before falling asleep. Do I believe the story? I am afraid I have heard too many interviews with people who knew the Warrens to think anything other than they were a couple who was extremely adept at making money by playing to people's fears.
In short, I think the Warrens were running a game, but part of me has to applaud their sheer audacity. I mean, they made a mint off of the films that were based on their stories.

Best narration!

Great story and the best narration of any book this far! Story is very detailed and makes you want to listen to it straight through.

Amazing narrator, great story, a must listen

I've seen the Ed and Lorraine movies but this book is even better than the movies.
I strongly susuggest listening or reading this book.

Absolutely wonderful and disturbing... truly

I've seen the documentary and the movie but this was the best yet, some of it is obvious why it didn't make it in the doc or movie. A must have if you enjoy paranormal books.

Freaky book

IF you are sensitive to sensuality or language than do not get this book. I saw a few reviews complain about it but it was necessary to explain what happened. I read/listened though it fast and it did make me look behind me a few times to make sure no one was there

I just lost a bit of hope for humanity

And it is not because of the supposed demonic activity. The Snedekers must be in the running for the title of worst parents in the world, right after Freddie and Rosie. Also in the competition is Carmen’s sister, who moved her daughters into a home, where they were continually being raped by a demon, just because “she was going through a tough divorce”.
1. The first half of the book revolves around their poor son Steven, who, aside from getting cancer, was obviously being possessed to a certain point and felt the house was “wrong” from the beginning.. After continually yelling at him to stop talking about the haunting, they finally had him locked up into a mental hospital and never spoke of him again. So, what, whas he possessed, or schizofrenic? Did he take the demon with him to the hospital? Did he survive? Wtf happened to him?
2. Who lets their children live in constant fear and suffer physical attacks, and not believe them when told about it??
3. Who moves into a former funeral home and forces their children to live in a room, that was used as a morgue and autopsy room?
4. The descriptions of the supposed funeral home were downright insulting for the bussiness. There is no blood spraying the walls, as noone is getting killed. The blood doesn’t gush anywhere, when a person is dead. There is no torture and no dying in the house - the “visitors” are already dead.
The hypocrisy and lack of parental abilities of the Snedekers is the truly haunting experience of this book. Also, the narrator makes female voices sounds like a cartoon.
I love the Warrens and their work, but this book is not worth the credit. There must be a better way of finding out what really happened in that house.
