George and Kathleen Lutz were aware that the house of a mass murder--Ronald DeFeo, 23, was convicted of shooting his parents, brothers, and sisters. But it seemed an ideal home for them and their three children, and the price was right. ON the day they moved in, a priest invited to bless the house was told by an unseen voice to "Get Out!" At his rectory, he began to suffer a series of inexplicable afflictions. Meanwhile, alone in their new home, the Lutz family were embarking on the most terrifying experience of their lives. It began when their five-year-old daughter boasted of her new playmate, someone--or something--named "Jodie."
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR is an unforgettable book with all the shocks and gripping suspense of The Exorcist, The Omen, or Rosemary's Baby--but with one vital difference! As the author reports, "To the extent that I can verify them, all the events in this book are true."
Also contained in: - Sarah Bernhardt And Her World / My Mother/My Self / Snow / The Amityville Horror / The Guggenheims
This was the first contemporary horror book I'd ever read. I can still remember reading in during the day in my bedroom. I didn't even pay attention to my mom walking up the stairs.

If you want to read a good horror novel published in 1977, read The Shining.
