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.

A gripping Story

As a Catholic and believer in the things described in this book, I found it to be a confirmation of so much. I highly recommend it.

Intriguing story

An intriguing story for certain, however the narration left a lot to be desired. The author comes across as quite fond of himself. Skeptics steer clear!

Narration was fantastic.

I love the Supernatural, and Paranormal. this seems incredibly hard to believe and far fetched. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. nothing against the narration though.

An interesting read

I didn't like the "suspenseful" parts story could have been pieced together in a better way. overall a very interesting read/listen i would purchase actual ebook and reread narrator's voice made me fall asleep.

Good story overall but too much filler

Definitely some good paranormal horror stuff in this book but there’s a lot of mundane filler you need to read through to get to it!

Disappointed

As far as paranormal content goes, very lacking. I kept hearing about the excessive terror being caused but was never really told what was happening in any great detail. Narrator was mono tone and never presented any change in verbal expression.

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.

I thought the book moved too slow and repeated the same things a bit too much. It was okay. I wouldn't recommend because there's nothing great about it.
