For the first time in over 10 years, author Gerald Brittle‘s book The Devil in Connecticut is now back in print, telling the true story behind The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
“This is the original 1983 book which first detailed the horrors first-hand, published with the direct involvement of Ed & Lorraine Warren, the Glatzel family, as well as Arne Cheyenne Johnson—who was the first person in the US to use in a murder defense that ’the Devil made him do it’,” Graymalkin Media, LLC explains in an email to Bloody Disgusting today.
The company continues, “It has been out of print for over 10 years and is now available again to terrify readers in ebook, audio, and print. It’s the only book that exclusively deals with the true case file that is the inspiration for the film.” Here’s the full rundown…
“It was one of the most sensational murder trials of the 1980s. When Arne Cheyenne Johnson stabbed an acquaintance to death with a five-inch folding knife, Johnson presented one of the most shocking legal defenses in history: not guilty by virtue of demonic possession. As the press put it, “the Devil made me do it.”
Johnson’s shocking story began months earlier, when his girlfriend’s eleven-year-old brother, David, encountered a spectral figure looming at the foot of the bed and then started showing telltale signs of demonic possession. David suddenly spoke in Latin, levitated, and suffered beatings at the hands of an invisible demon. After a team of Catholic priests failed to drive the demon out, the case was taken up by Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens had fought demons across the globe, but the Connecticut Devil would be one of their greatest challenges, and perhaps their most deadly.
Now includes an 8-page photo insert documenting the possession featuring images from the Glatzel family and the Ed and Lorraine Warren collection.”
The paperback version will release on June 22. Pre-order your copy today.
The eBook, on the other hand, is available now.
