5.0 out of 5 stars Faith keeps harrowed family together., 5 Jul 2006
By Jackie Coupe "www.jackiecoupe.com" (UK, Blackburn) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I ended up buying a copy of this book based on a made for TV film I had seen years ago. It just turned out that the man I was talking to about the film knew it had been based on a book and knew who wrote it. I hadn't known of the book and as I do enjoy a scare thought I'd give it a whirl.
The first and most scary element is that this book is written by a man of faith, a recognised priest. Robert Curran. You can discount at that point that the book was written to sensationalise. You can also tell that book writing wasn't Robert Curran's strongpoint and rather than dampen the tale it adds more charm to it, there are no superfluos twists and turns.
The Smurls were being terrorised, physically, mentally and spiritually by several entities in the house. One of which was found to be a pure demon. The sounds of squealing pigs and disgusting scents fill the air as the devoutly religious family suffer just about every outrage possible, even the family dog Simon comes in for physical attack.
They go on holiday for a break and the ghastly dark entity follows them, it has learned to mimmick their voices and tease them. Their local clergy has turned their backs, stating that there is nothing there they can't explain, one comes to wonder who they would feel being watched in the bathroom, pushed downstairs or having thumps rampaging through the house followed by the sound of hooves...?
It gets much harder to discount by the minute as their neighbours start to report they too have been visited by the demon and the neighbourhood turns into a circus.
As a read it was very disturbing, enjoyed the tone and timbre of the book which was no frills, facts and discussions of events and people who were present lend it an unsettling amount of credibility.
I was a fan of the film, now I'm also a fan of the book, not many made me switch the light back, this one did!
