Product Information

Binding places you in a position of strength, but it does not obviate the need for sacrifices. Keeping a bound demon happy ensures its good service, and strengthens its presence in the world. Demons of very low circle compared to your skill may offer themselves in servitude, although you will still need to provide them with sacrifices. A sacrifice is any offering that is made to a demon. It is used to call demons and also used in exchange for power. Sacrifices also increase a demon’s power to remain in the world. The higher a demon’s circle, the more valuable the sacrifice should be. Similarly, a sacrifice should be proportional to the power asked for. Inappropriate sacrifices can anger a demon, and will not sustain its presence.

The majority of demons will not resist banishment, the most powerful exception to this being possession. In this case a banishing ritual will be required.

A mesmerizing and melancholy narrative voice lends chilling credibility to this exceptional supernatural thriller.”— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)Well, that was both cryptic and intriguing. I was hoping for a spooky story, but it seemed there was more to this one than a ghostly narrative. An absolutely fascinating book for laymen ghost hunters and anybody interested in this dark topic.

What's nice is that it is so straight forward and perfect for the general reader. Life Ministry Church (Ohio and Michigan Division). Lastly but most importantly is my dependence upon and my faith in JesusChrist. I've put countless hours of work into researching and writing this for the community, and taking screenshots, so that's all I ask. Thanks guys! <3

Andrew Pyper is a rare breed. Reading The Demonologist is like running through a house on fire – you’ve got to get through; nothing will stop you. And when you’re out, brokenhearted and bewildered, you’re left wondering if what happened was real. That’s Pyper’s brilliance: he does it so well you never see the fiction. Contemporary and masterful, this is grown up horror for grown up people.” – Sarah Langan, three-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Audrey’s Door Synopsis: Detective Damien Seryph investigates a string of murders that connects to a group trying to bring forth the 4 King Demons of Hell. Damien's past connects him to those involved and will force him to become "The Demonologist". The number of times the author used the word diabolical. It was diabolical how many times it was used. Was there something NOT diabolical? Pft. Pyper’s novel is enthralling in its subdued intensity…Calm and learned prose that chills to the bone.”– Montreal GazetteHorsemen of the Apocalypse: They seceded from Lucifer's legions to pursue their own agenda. One of them is the Big Bad. It will say things to you other ghosts won't. If it decides to hunt, it's nearly impossible to escape because it knows where you are but it is much slower when it's near it's target. Now, I read Jay Anson's book many years ago. I remember thinking that it was unnerving until the time Kathy Lutz levitated. At that point, it became a Halloween story for me. But even as frustrating as the writing was, it had nothing Ed Warren. I guess I should have assumed that it was going to focus heavily on the Warrens themselves, rather than the cases they worked on. Some of their cases are discussed, but it is less on the people directly involved with the activity, but instead the repercussions that the Warrens faced. And the fact that they constantly put themselves in danger of being killed, but they help anyway--of course. Not to mention that, Ed particularly, is incredibly well known amongst demonic entities, almost every religious community in the US and the UK, and can pretty much blink and exorcise (albeit temporarily) an entity from someone. He is just that amazing!

It's format can get jumbled at times as it is made up of not only case studies but formatted at times as interview/Q&A sessions by the author, so it can be confusing when determining who is speaking; the author or Ed or Lorraine Warren. They have no interest in anything other than their target. They are very aggressive and active when their target is nearby and are more likely to hunt when their target is close.Very few are called into this ministry, and, more often than not, against their will. Several times I have tried to remove myself from this field. There are only two offices mentioned in the New Testament and a Biblical Demonologist is not one of them. God is raising them up, as very, very few pastors are involved in the work. The desire to be a demonologist is extremely problematic. Desiring to be a minister is one thing and desiring to be a demonologist is another thing altogether. The book is about the lives of Ed and Lorraine Warren, that they were paranormal investigators since the 1940's and they were quite known by clergymen of several religions, college scholars and even the military but it was until the "Amityville" case that they got publicity enough to be known by general public.
