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. :)7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. What a Story!By SiegfriedIf your into supernatural haunting stories; you will not be disapointed here!Admittedly; the book does start out fairly slow; ordinary(for paranormal standards) and the writing competent but somewhat elementary. But about a third of the way through; things really take off and I mean REALLY take off. I don't want to spoil anything but if your a fan of the Warren's this is one for the shelf.Fortunately; as the case escalates in extremity the writing also increases in quality; with the author really finding his stride half way through the book. The quality of ghost-writing here is a breath of fresh air in a genre that has recently; for better or worse; been flooded with non-professional self published stories.Unique aspects of this case:-Demonic haunting of a genuinely devout catholic family-Combination of both Human/Inhuman haunting-Presence of Incubi/Succubi-Frequent and extreme apparitions-The Camping chapters...-Interesting account of the family going "public" with their haunting4 1/2 STARS; just shy of 5 because of the previously mentioned first third of the book; other than that; a fantastic and wholly recommended book for the paranormal enthusiast!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Nonfiction ReadBy PictimilitudeThe whole story was interesting. It was written as a sort of running commentary of events. Being really into scary books; it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I kept wanting it to incorporate creative nonfiction prose more than just a report of events; but that's just personal preference.Reading about the Smurls; though; and what they went through makes me grateful for my "mundane" life - without hauntings.Without giving away the end; I'll just say that I would have loved an update on their status in terms of the spirits.
