Satan’s Harvest turns a disturbing true-life story into a morally questionable tale of “demonic possession.” Between grotesque events, victim-blaming in paranormal narratives, and a lack of credible evidence, this book is infuriating. My review breaks down why Maurice Theriault’s story is framed as supernatural—and why it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

Review: Werewolf by Robert David Chase | Jacob Black Not Included
Three books in, and the Warrens’ stories still do the same thing: turn real people’s mental health struggles into “demonic” spectacles. Werewolf by Robert David Chase follows William Ramsey, a kid who randomly decides he’s a wolf one day, and suddenly everyone’s calling it possession. Clunky writing, casual racism, and endless pearl-clutching over metal music don’t help, and yes — every nurse is inexplicably perfect. Still, it’s the most believable Warren universe book I’ve read… if you can overlook all that.
Review: In a Dark Place by Ray Garton | Whassamatter with the Snedeker Family?
Whassamatter with the Snedeker fam? Honestly… I can’t say for sure. My initial thought is addiction and mental illness, because the way this family is written in the book is not a great look. But truly, whassamatter with the author for using words like “whassamatter,” “hummum,” and “whum” and pretending they’re real? I hate feeling…
