About this listen
The Cranmers seemed fated to own the house at 3406 Brownsville Road. As a young boy, Bob had been drawn to the property, and, just when the family decided to move back to Brentwood, it went up for sale. Without a second thought, they purchased the house that Bob had always dreamed of owning.
But the family soon began experiencing strange phenomena - objects moving on their own, ghostly footsteps, unsettling moaning sounds - that gradually increased in violence, escalating to physical assaults and, most disturbingly, bleeding walls. Bob, Lesa, and their four children were under attack from a malicious demon that was conjuring up terrifying manifestations to destroy their tight-knit household. They had two choices: leave or draw on their unwavering faith to exorcise the malicious fiend who haunted their home.
Now Bob Cranmer recounts the harrowing true story of the evil presence that tormented his family and the epic spiritual war he fought to save everything he held dear.

Successful New York psychiatrist Richard Gallagher was skeptical yet intrigued when a hard-nosed, no-nonsense Catholic priest asked him to examine a woman for a possible exorcism. Meeting her, Gallagher was astonished. The woman’s behavior defied logic. This remarkable case was the first of many that Gallagher would encounter. Sought after today by leaders of all faiths—ministers, priests, rabbis and imams, Gallagher has spent a quarter-century studying demonic activity and exorcisms throughout history and has witnessed more cases than any other psychiatrist in the world today.

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

Story
Truth is stranger than fiction...and scarier! This audiobook contains accounts of real Catholic exorcisms. Many of these exorcism were made into movies, but even Hollywood with all its special effects and spinning heads couldn’t recreate the true horror experienced by these possessed children. These true stories of exorcisms are meant to inoculate you against the tricks and traps of evil. It is highly recommended that you listen to the Pray of St. Michael the Archangel (provided) before embarking on these accounts.

I am very confused.
I am at least a couple hours into this book and I don't know if it's a scary story or just a book about random things in this guy's life. to be fair, I haven't finished it yet but so far the first couple hours have just been rambling about This Guy's political career in his family. I'm hoping for actual scary happenings.

A scary true story
I found out about this story while watching an interview with writer on paranormal files. I then got his book through Audible. Well written and sure did keep my attention! I truly believe all the things about good and evil, God and the devil however I’m grateful I’ve not been put to the test like this family.

Fascinating, horrifying, and ultimately inspiring
Would you consider the audio edition of The Demon of Brownsville Road to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, but I was quite UNimpressed with the narration. I'm actually wishing I'd just gotten the print version of the book, since it seems fairly well written. Difficult to tell from this performance, however.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator's reading style is extremely monotonous, lacking in inflection in a most unnatural way. Every sentence sounds exactly the same, regardless of its structure or emotion. I made it through the audiobook because the story was very interesting, and because the dry, robotic style of the narrator allowed me to tune him out for most of the book, but there were still many points where I was jarred out of the story by his odd inflection, or lack thereof.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
I was fascinated by the author's description of the Passionist convent and order
Any additional comments?
This is a wonderful story, and appears to be decently written, but I simply cannot imagine why/how they cast this narrator.
