The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

The Lutz family moves into 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville on Long Island after the house has been on the market since Ronald DeFeo killed his family. After only 28 days, the Lutzes leave the house with all of their belongings in it, never to return. Jay Anson brings his readers through the 28 days of hell that the Lutzes experienced.

❗️Spoilers
Despite the Afterword proclaiming the truths behind the story, I’d have to say, the green goo coming out of the walls really got me. That’s where I stopped believing in the family’s experience and the book became a humorous novel. Good thing that I got to that portion on my last day of reading this, because that would’ve made me DNF this.

Before I got to that part, I was terrified and as this was easily readable and binge-able, I ate the story up. Anson has great storytelling skills and if he had written any other “non-fictional” horror stories, I would definitely read them as I read fictional horror.
