Evil Unleashed: True Tales of Spells Gone to Hell and Other Occult Disasters
The occult seduces in many ways. It promises secret knowledge and magical powers. It teases of enlightenment and transformation. It enchants with mysteries and wonders. But therein lies the trap. Once the shiny bait is taken, the hook is pulled. The prey is left to slowly perish, gasping for breath in a metaphysical dream that has turned into a nightmare. The occult is nothing if not dangerous. It opens channels that are best left closed. It attracts entities that don't play by the rules. And it demands more - always more - than what was bargained for. These true-life accounts reveal the heartache and horror that can occur when people participate in the occult - be it witchcraft, Ouija boards, white magic or black - and knowingly or not, release dark spirits into the human realm. Dabbler or devotee, it doesn't matter how deeply one is committed or involved. Once evil is unleashed, it treats everyone the hellishly.

This was an amazing informative book and most of the true tales were really creepy!
The book contains true stories of what people dealt with including Ouija Boards, Djinns, Demons, Mirrors, and Witchcraft (Wiccan and Satanic). Some of the stories include inanimate objects that harbor an evil entity which came into the lives of the people in these stories and caused everything from havoc to disruption of families.
I couldn't put the book down and stayed up till the early hours of the morning wanting to finish it!
Giving the book four stars for keeping me awake to finish it!

Okay okay so never F with anyone's free will or you'll end up drooling and suffering in a psych ward only to eventually kill yourself in the end...
And NEVER summon a demon. Now why would anyone go and do a thing like that anydamnway eh?
Go find something to binge on Netflix instead perhaps?? ::Sigh:: Moral to the story?
Basically just don't freakin mess w/ occult forces if ya don't know what the hell you're doing...
2-2.5 STARS FOR SOME INTERESTING TIDBITS THAT KEPT MY ATTENTION.

Enjoyable
I found the book entertaining for the most part. The topics and stories were well-written and covered in a comprehensive manner. I was impressed by the authors depth of research.
The only thing I did not care for was the absolute Christian bias that this and many works of this type share. The Church is not the only body with the ability or knowledge to help those so afflicted. I think it is arrogant to assume this. There are spiritual paths and traditions that are far older than Christianity with an equal or better success rating at dealing with the demonic.
Aside from the bias, it was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. Harker is an excellent writer and does thorough research. My only hope is that further books on the subject approach it from different angles and don't immediately consider non-Christian traditions as inferior or even demonic themselves.

True Occult Disasters
This is a well researched book covering the dangers of dealing with the Occult. The stories herein are most frightening, and it is only after the unfortunate souls play around with occult items do they learn the truth that it is not a game and has life threatening consequences. There is ample details of men and women who learn that spells and intentions often backfire and it is best to leave things alone in the first place. Intervention was required in every case and was not always 100% successful. An excellent paranormal read, guide and warning book.

Finally An Accurate Account
The author has certainly done his homework. The various entanglements in his book are spot on. I'm hoping people will read this book before getting involved with the various ways that evil can and will destroy their lives. I really appreciated the account of the origin of the Loch Ness monster. Here all this time I thought it was a wiley critter left over from prehistoric days. Didn't know Crowley very likely conjured it up. That would explain why it has eluded being captured.

Very good and informative!.
While I have an interest in the occult, it is confined to reading about it! Having read John Harker's book, I am more than just content to heed his advice: Better not get involved at all!. You bet!
Man, this was creepy and terrifying! Eek!!.

snore…..
Poorly written, the style detracts from the information so much that it’s painful to read. I love the pen-name, but that’s the best part of the book.
