The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle

5.0

so right off the back, i'm not gonna lie: this book scared the living shit out of me. however, i'm extremely glad i read it. the way it's set up is like you're reading an interview. the book is almost entirely dialog - either from Ed and Lorraine Warren, answering questions they frequently get asked from other interviews and lectures they've given, or dialog from tape recordings they've chosen to share pertaining to specific cases they've been apart of. which i extremely liked - i felt like i was sitting in a room with Ed and Lorraine themselves listening to them tell me about their experiences. and the way they speak is not to frighten you, but to inform you (but if you're anything like me, they'll do both). the author also shares his sources, uses footnotes to allot where we can learn more about the certain subject at hand, and mentions he had several clergymen who were also involved in the cases with the Warrens to read and confirm the contents of the stories before the book was published. i thought the book was fantastic - and extremely interesting; even if i was paranoid to the point where i scared myself half to death some nights. i'd suggest not reading it right before you go to bed.
