The Smurl Haunting – A Review by Levi Hill
This is a guest post for the book review of The Smurl Haunting, Independently Published (2025) as reviewed by Levi Hill.
It is clear Maxim W. Furek has forgotten more about the occult and paranormal than most people will ever know, and his 176-page joyride through some of most prominent paranormal cases of famed ghosthunters and demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren is a testament to that fact.
At first, it may not be clear to casual readers the picture Mr. Furek is painting as he tours us through some of the Warrens’ most famous cases. But his detours into events connect to those cases and glimpses into the lives of some of the most prolific and horrific mass murderers of our time are all leading the uninitiated and open-minded to the Smurl House haunting.
Was the Smurl haunting a genuine demonic event or simply another stopping off point on the impressive literary and cinematic empire the Warren’s gathered around themselves? Were the Warrens indeed spiritual warriors fighting an incorporeal battle with the forces of evil, or clever charlatans capitalizing on the world’s fascination with the ethereal as their detractors contend?
The reader can decide for themselves and Furek has given them plenty to consider before they make up their minds.
If you’re not every-day-familiar with the other-worldly, Mr. Furek’s book is a solid stepping off point into the vast and terrifying world of the paranormal and is sure to give the reader plenty of dark alleyways to venture down as they delve deeper into the world of the occult.
If you’re a devotee of the demonic and supernatural, you may not find much in Furek’s book that you probably haven’t already brushed up against on a cold, dark night surfing the paranormal backwaters of the Internet but who knows what specter may linger yet undiscovered?
Whether new to the field of paranormal investigations, or a seasoned veteran of cemetery seances, Furek’s book is a quick and interesting delve into the Ed and Lorraine mythos and sure to leave the reader hungering for more.
