Book Description

October 14, 2001
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 investigation into incredible true crimes an 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 Beware the Night, 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 ninteenth-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were literally, the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's NYPD 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.

Ralph Sarchie is a Sergeant in the New York Police Department, working at the 46th precinct in the South Bronx. During his 16 years on the force, patrolling some of New York City's most dangerous slums on the midnight tour, he's made over 300 arrests and received seven medals. For the past ten years, he's moonlighted as a demonologist, investigating haunted houses and cases of demonic possession. A devout Catholic, he's assisted in 20 exorcisms. He lives in Queens, New York with his wife, Jennifer, and their two children.

Lisa Collier Cool is an award winning author of four previous books and hundreds of articles for such magazines as Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, and Penthouse. She lives in New York with her husband, John, and their three children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware The Night by Ralph Sarchie, April 22, 2002
By 
jami sherman (Cincinnati, Oh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beware the Night (Mass Market Paperback)
Whether you believe in them or not, demons are at work in this world and they are all around you. The evidence is everywhere, and I knew that before I read this book. Ralph Sarchie is not trying to convert anyone to christianity through his book, but merely explain to you that you need to consider your sprirtial side because anyone and everyone will face encounters with evil at some time or other. Although I question some of the people in this book (not Mr. Sarchie himself, who is obviously credible), this book deserves a note a tremendous praise! It will definitely make you think twice about the forces of evil and how they can work against you in your life, and what you can do to battle them... I personally found this book to be well written and highly informative. I appreciate Sarchie's strength to make these cases of the demonic public, but most of all his courage to reveal his own beliefs and faith despite the fact that when a book like this is written there will inevitably be public criticism. It's unavoidable. Nevertheless, this book is great and I hope he writes more of them pertaining to this subject matter in the future. Five stars absolutley!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying - Scared the Bejabbers Out of Me!, February 21, 2002
By 
M. Gill (Swoyersville, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beware the Night (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was terrifying to read and some stange things started to occur around the house. I am still not sure what to make of it but the book had me reaching for the Holy Water and getting to confession. Mr. Sarchie states that thinking a lot about demons might actually draw them to you. BEWARE! This book will certainly have you thinking about them. It is not for the feint of heart.

The credibility of the author combined with the fact that this is a factual account makes for a rather shocking book.

This review is from: Beware the Night (Mass Market Paperback)
I never believed in Satan, but after Sept. 11, who could not believe in evil? Ralph Sarchie is a devout Catholic, but he writes like a good cop and the details of his cases of demonic possession are credible and very scary. This is going to make a terrific movie!
