In a Dark Place book. The book is atmospheric, to say the least: an innocent family moves into a new house that was once a funeral home. Predictably, things don't go well. And that's my problem with stories like these, of which I've read hundreds: no one ever seems to suspect that something supernatural is occurring until far too late.

This book, In A Dark Place, is, without a doubt, the best book I have ever read. It's exceptionally written, terrifying, and unsettling: just to think that such a thing could really happen to a family like the Snedekers. The most frightening thing, for me, was Stephen's transformation from a happy, normal boy into the dark, brooding, evil person he became, as he was, in essence, posessed by these demons and spirits in the house. I still wonder if he's ok now. The description in the book is so vivid, and I felt as though I was there.

Ray Garton (born December 2, 1962 in Redding, California) is an American author, well known for his work in horror fiction. He has written over sixty books, and in 2006 was presented with the World Horror Convention Grand Master Award. He currently resides in Northern California with his wife Dawn. Trade Secrets (1990). Kill the Teacher’s Pet (1991) as Joseph Locke.

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.

I love reading the case files of Ed & Lorraine Warren! The first one I read was "The Demonologist", which I had years ago when I was in school. I was fascinated with the tales in there and it was where I was first introduced to "Annabelle."

These new editions are much better than the versions I had in the past, with cleaner print, easier on the eyes. Several have photos that are much more clear than some of the previous editions.

I am so glad these books are back in print, and in a pleasant, matching collection. Be sure to get all of them, and be ready for many chilling nights reading the spooky stories that will give you lots of restless sleep. :)

This story captivated me from the first time I heard about it. But honestly, the book left a lot to be desired and had me scratching my head. I have seen 2 programs about this story with the family members themselves being interviewed, and between them and this book, there are many inconsistencies. In my opinion, I feel the story is greatly embellished. I myself grew up in a haunted house, and the experience was so traumatic that it is embedded in me, and my story is always the same, whereas this one changes. Based upon my experience, there is no need to embellish or falsify anything to make the story more horrifying. Just having a legitimate paranormal experience in itself is unsettling.The Warrens make only a brief appearance in the book, and I found it slow moving. But after noticing how the story is different than every time I see something about it makes it much less believable, and the book is much different than any program I have seen featuring the family talking about what happened.

Perhaps the most (in)famous case of a demonic haunting behind, of course, Amityville.

I gotta say, In a Dark Place is very well written; it's easily digestible though not too simplistic and it's a definite page-turner without being overly sensational and melodramatic. And most of all, the case portrayed is truly frightening with the house's history being sadistically one of a kind, hence the infamy of this case.

Now other reviews have stated how great this book is, and I agree with them to a large extent(I rated 5 stars after all) but it isn't perfect and considering the price tag, you should be aware of it's cons before buying. So here it is..

My biggest complaint is the book's lack of focus on Stephen, who also happens to be the person most affected by the house.

He's given due attention at first but when things pick up and he gets more and more haunted the book annoyingly pulls away from him and focuses more on his mother, who is subject to much less intense(at the time) hauntings and doesn't even believe Stephen's stories. What this means is we never truly get the full story what happened to Stephen in this house, which is a damn shame considering he was the one most affected by the house/demons.

My second complaint has to do with the marketing. First, this is certainly not the 'most terrifying true case of demonic possession ever', in fact, a true possession of Stephen is entirely debatable, I'd say demonic 'obsession'(pre-cursor to possession) is better fitting. Even if he was truly possessed other cases easily surpass this one in extremity, "Devil in Connecticut" and "Begone Satan" quickly come to mind. That's not to say this book isn't horrifying, it very much is in many ways, but don't buy into the overly sensational marketing like I did.

Also the book heavily promotes the Warren's being involved, but they don't even enter the equation until the last 1/4 of the book and even then, their grandson and nephew are far more heavily involved in the case then they are. Also at this point, the book feels a little rushed like the author is sprinting toward's the end. He could have easily put in 50+ more pages into the final act of the book/case.

Now all that said this is still a great book and it is most certainly paranormal history whether you like it or not. The history of the house and the related attacks make this haunting truly unique and while it doesn't line up to the marketing it is nonetheless a thoroughly chilling book. But the question remains...

Should you but this book despite the price tag?

I'll put it this way, if this book were standard price, I would urge each and every fan of the paranormal to pick this up. But it's not standard price so I guess you have to ask yourself, how bad do you want it?

To be honest, this is my least favorite out of the book series so far. Roughly two-thirds of the book is the parents denying what is happening in the house and blaming their son for "scaring the other kids". I understand it's hard to process what's going on, but there's denying what's happening and then there's knowing something's wrong but going about it in such an awful way that it makes the situation worse. I couldn't really stay invested in the story just for that alone.

Also, word of warning that the last third of the book does get very graphic in the attacks. Just proceed with caution.

This is supposed to be a documented case of Ed and Lorraine Warren. It is in part very reminiscent of the film a Haunting in Connecticut. The detail is good, and the pace steady, but it reads more like a badly transcribed court case. It is still a scarey tale, so I can give it that much. I don't know if it is aimed at a particular audience, or it just aims to be "moral" in the right parts of the story. Not that would be a bad thing, you just have to know your audience. However, personally I would have expected something a little better told than the somewhat pedestrian tale. The facts are there, they are scarey, and a re-working of the core story ( not embellishment) keeping to the facts would make these cases very readable.

This is so not my regular genre, but a friend recommended the book, so I thought I’d give it a go...
While I found it interesting, what I also find interesting is only religious people seem to bothered by “demons” or possessions... just my thoughts..
Although the book certainly kept me interested, I really wish we could’ve found out more about how poor Stephen ended up... his family treated him terribly, and I want to know if his personality changed at all once he left the house.... would love to know more about his fate...
