The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson
3.0
On December 18 1975, the Lutz family move into their new home in suburban Long Island. Twenty-eight days later, the entire family abandon the house and all their belongings, fleeing in terror.
The story is a retelling of the chain of events that took place at 112 Ocean Drive, based on the Lutzes recollections, who claim to have been terrorised by paranormal phenomena while living there. There's no denying the impact The Amityville Horror has had on pop culture.
OK, so I didn't find the story "shocking" or "spine-tingling", but I certainly enjoyed it more than I thought I would! It's an interesting and easy enough read, we get a little background on the Lutz family and an account of the hauntings that allegedly took place, plus we get a mention of Ed and Lorraine Warren.
