For October reading, we just had to pick a spooky title! The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson, which is available in audiobook format on Hoopla. The library also has 3 paper copies on the way that you can request using our pickup service (Call 804-333-6710 or e-mail us at library@rappahannock.edu).
Here’s an introduction…
In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property—complete with boathouse and swimming pool—and the price were too good to pass up. Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror. This is the spellbinding, best-selling true story that gripped the nation—the story of a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe.
