The Amityville Horror

The Amityville Horror

by Jay Anson [133.42 Ans]

Story of the Lutz family who moved into a home on Long Island that had been the scene of a horrific family murder the previous year. Complete with blood running down walls, a spirit chasing out a priest who was blessing the home, and other strange and scary phenomena. Perported to be a true story but later shown to be fiction, it's still a fast, interesting read. -- recommended by Charlotte K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
