A harrowing true account of a family's battle against the deepest, darkest forces of evil in their new home.
Ed Warren presents the harrowing true account of the Snedeker family, whose life unravels after moving into a Connecticut house formerly used as a funeral home. What begins as unsettling poltergeist activity rapidly escalates into a terrifying siege by a sinister presence targeting each family member. Exhausted by conventional remedies, the Snedekers seek help from renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their investigation reveals a history steeped in death and dark rituals, forcing a confrontation with forces far more savage than anticipated. This narrative details the family's desperate struggle for survival against an evil that seems determined to claim their souls, offering a chilling glimpse into the realm of demonic possession.
This work sits firmly within the mid-to-late 20th-century American spiritualism and demonology tradition, popularized by the Warrens' extensive case files. It reflects the era's growing public fascination with the supernatural as a tangible, dangerous reality rather than mere folklore.

Needed this for my research. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Great value for what you get.
I keep coming back to this one. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Shipping was quick too.
Needed this for my research. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Highly recommend to serious students.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Shipping was quick too.
While Ed Warren delivers a gripping narrative of supernatural siege, this book is not for skeptics or those easily disturbed by graphic descriptions of evil. It lacks literary polish, prioritizing sensational horror over nuanced analysis, which may frustrate academic readers. However, for fans of the Warrens’ specific brand of demonology, it serves as a vital primary source. The text effectively conveys the terror of the Snedeker family without resorting to cheap jump scares, relying instead on the weight of their real-world ordeal. It is essential for collectors of occult history but may feel repetitive to those who have read the Warrens’ other major works. Avoid if you prefer subtle psychological horror over overt demonic intervention.
