Hmm, well, not one I'd recommend. Written as a true story, this reads like a six hour news piece rather than a novel. And in fact Anson wrote it from 45 hours of recordings he received from the Lutz's - the couple who lived at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville. He didn't ever speak to them directly. And perhaps because it is supposedly based on actual events there is no build or suspense to the story. Kathy and George Lutz and their three children live for about a month in the house they've just bought in Amityville and leave it because of the horrific supernatural events that occur. It was really just lets bung in everything scary we can think of and not worry about the quality of the writing. Horror rating = 1 ghost.
