The Warren Files: 27 Cases of Ed & Lorraine

by Daniel Salcedo Bernier

The Warrens were not merely curious about the occult. They were devout investigators, deeply convinced that evil exists, and that it manifests itself with an intelligence, cruelty and persistence that many prefer to ignore. Ed Warren was one of the few lay demonologists recognised by the Catholic Church. Lorraine, for her part, possessed gifts she described as clairvoyance and spiritual sensitivity. Together, they plunged into a universe of shadows where others refused to look.

This book is not a work of fiction. Nor is it an attempt to convince the sceptic. It is a faithful compilation, based on the original Warren files, interviews, field notes, recordings, books, and eyewitness accounts of the unexplained horror. There are 27 documented cases, selected from thousands for their impact, complexity and resonance.

A difficult read, for some reason this book isn't written properly and a lot of it doesn't make sense due to this, if you read anything on the Warren's don't read anything by this author as it's a waste of time.

Ignoring all of the strange pronoun problems..
It was a good book, filled with lots of interesting cases. However it does seem to me that some of the accounts differ from the cases that I’ve read more in depth from other books (which, oddly, are written with the help of the Warrens). Most of the chapters appear to simply be a synopsis of each story, especially the one about the Conjuring house. The Warrens account (and the movie) just seem very different from the accounts written by Andrea Perron in House Of Darkness House Of Light.
I really enjoyed a lot of the later chapters which focused more on haunted objects as opposed to demonic possessions; it was a nice change.
Overall I’m glad I read it, I just wish it was properly edited!

Sorry!

I desperately wanted to enjoy this. I got as far as 23% and gave up, simply because of the errors in the print. I got so frustrated!
This would be a really interesting read, but is in desperate need of an edit!
Poor editing leads to having to re-read sentences to make sense of the sentence. In a lot of the errors, it's "she" becomes "he".
I would read this again if the editing was corrected!

Was interesting to read about the different cases, but I feel like this book was either not edited or if it was it was badly edited- there were errors with the pronouns in the book (randomly changing from he to she or vice versa when talking about the same character) which didn’t make it impossible to read but kinda annoying at times. Was a cool book to read for spooky season though!

Needs proper editing

I really enjoyed the stories.. Would be 5 stars but pronouns were not used properly. Made it very confusing and hard to follow.

Many print errors

Inquietante...

[Penny Wise · Rating 3 out of 5]

I agree with the other review... Names and pronouns are mixed up all through the book. Made it very tricky to follow most of the cases.....

[Alana · Rating 4 out of 5]

My only issue was the author sometimes used male pronouns when referring to Lorraine Warren. It made it difficult to tell if we were talking about her or her husband Ed.

⭐️⭐️.75 rounded up

I liked this but it also felt slightly boring and repetitive, although I probably will still read the second one

Poor spelling, random gender changes of characters.

Loved the stories, hence the 5* rating. The grammar and spelling was not good at all. If I based it on the entirety, I would have given it a 2*
