Publisher's summary

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.

Dark, Haunting, and Real

I love the Warren's career. This event was chilling and comforted my interest in the preternatural dark forces.

As the story moved on, I realized that this story was made into a movie, "The Haunting in Connecticut," and that I saw the movie, already. I wished I had read the book, first. The movie was good, but I felt that the book gave the event it's justice.

Triggering

The narrative was good overall, I had a big problem with the rape scenes though. They were too graphic for me, and it could be very triggering for someone who has been raped. I would have preferred that to be told beforehand.

horror

great story good narrator horrifying events true story just had me scared Goosebumps all over

Ghost book

I really liked this book it gave me goosebumps and I have always believed that they are demons and other supernatural things my heart was pounding hard at every turn

SCARY

definitely worth hearing scared me he did great on the characters voices and the story alone was terrific. very informative and creepy

good, not great

I liked it, but, it's the Warren's. so there are some strong inconsistencies in the story. it's an easy listen, check it out.

great read

I enjoy this paranormal books this was a good read. I enjoyed it pretty well

Sticks with you

Definitely a story that you get committed to. You feel for the family and at times found myself cringing at what was occurring. The reader performed very well and my attention was always zeroed in on the events. I do feel like the ending was a little rushed but very well written overall.

good solid scary story

this is a great retelling of a scary story. believer or not this will entertain you and keep you thinking of things that go bump in the night

Very Spooky, Great Writing, and Terrific Narration

Okay, I'm not sure if I'm judging this book as a piece of fiction or nonfiction. If it's fiction, it gets a 3; if it's nonfiction, it gets a 4 star rating.

I'm going to keep this short, because I don't really feel like going into a lengthy review. I absolutely loved this in the way that I LOVE cheesy horror and regular horror movies. It scared the **** out of me! Since Ed and Lorraine Warren ARE real people and, from what I've read and seen, their stories are usually at least semi-factual, I'm going to go ahead and say this was "based on true events."--however, you want to interpret that. It was very freaky and I enjoyed it so much that I'll be reading another one of their books soon enough!

I've been a huge fan of Todd Haberkorn since I listened to Gregg Hurwitz's 'The Rains.' In that book, he put the voice of a teenager and below on for the whole book, but he has this great regular narrator voice. I think listening to this book has made me become even more in awe of his abilities. So, Mr. Haberkorn and the narration team (because I know there always is one) will get an A+ grade from me.

It's getting a B+ on my grading scale. Very good writing with enough terror to scare for days. The only fault I find is the ending and, as in real life, endings don't always make sense or even end. I think they could've left this book with a little more at the end.
