Around Christmas time in 1975, George Lee Lutz, his wife, Kathy, their dog, and their three children, move into a Dutch Colonial house off Long Island, New York. When they flee after 28 days, (by late January, early February 1976), the circumstances of what happened in the house became known as "The Amityville Horror" that was written by Jay Anson in 1977. With countless movies, books, and controversies surrounding the case, "Amityville" is a huge guide to the tragedy of not only the Lutz family, but also the previous family who lived there, the Defeo's, whose son, Ronald DeFeo, Jr., was possessed by demons, in 1974. This book goes to the beginning of the story of one of America's most notorious paranormal cases of the late 20th century. And, forty years' on, remains a definitive account of real paranormal activity that can't go away. Rated PG-13 for strong violence, sex references, drug references, some coarse language, and supernatural themes. Warning: For readers 13 years and over. This book is dedicated the memory of the DeFeo family, the late George and Kathy Lutz, and author Jay Anson, and Ed Warren. And to his wife Lorraine Warren. And to the late paranormal investigator/author Hans Holzer.
