Synopsis

Demonic possession. Exorcism. Haunted Houses. Satanic Rituals.

For most people this is the stuff of nightmares, horror movies, folklore, and superstition. For New York City police Sergeant Ralph Sarchie, it's as real—and dangerous—as midnight patrol . . .

A sixteen-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But it is his other job that he calls "the Work": investigating cases of demonic possession and assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient—and most dangerous—foes. Now he discloses for the first time his investigations into incredible true crimes and inhuman evil that were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcism, and an eyewitness to the reality of demonic possession, Ralph Sarchie has documented a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives a new shape to the shadows in the dark.

In Deliver Us from Evil, he takes readers into the very hierarchy of a hell on earth to expose the grisly rituals of a Palo Mayombe priest; a young girl whose innocence is violated by an incubus; a home invaded by the malevolent spirit of a supposedly murdered nineteenth-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were literally, the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's revelations are a powerful and disturbing documented link between the true-crime realities of life and the blood-chilling ice-grip of a supernatural terror.

Goodreads review by Leah

Follows the formula of the real-life my-house/wife/husband-has-been-posessed-by-demons tale. (That this is actually a formula is sort of disturbing since one would hope the world was not rife with so many demons that a true-life demon mad-libs was so easy to construct). I was hoping that this book w......more

Goodreads review by Frank

Read. This. Book. If you've had any kind of brush with the otherworldly, it will make you think twice about said encounters. I know it has me. The author is Catholic, and while I'm not, I didn't have a problem with his religion like other reviewers have. If you want to write a book about your experi......more

Goodreads review by Jacob

Not going to break any literary boundaries but this is a detailed and engrossing account of good versus evil. It's not as scary as others proclaim and is more generally creepy if anything. However, there is no glorification or exaggeration that takes place here. The matter of fact and measured way i......more
