This book provides a lot of interesting details about the famous Amityville Horror haunting. I've seen the movies and I found those details very interesting. It's interesting also how people take a book and turn it into a movie. I've experienced what I guess could be called paranormal things so I have no doubt that this story is true.
Skeptics say it was all made up but it's not that easy to create a story like this which matches up with real events. It should be easy to verify many aspects of this case such as the Lutz family purchasing the house but then fleeing for their lives a few short weeks later without ever returning to collect their belongings.
As far as I know the Lutz family never really benefited from this book or anything else associated with their harrowing experiences. To me they should have benefited from it somehow since they were the ones who experienced it.
Hauntings like this can happen when something dark occurred on the land or in the house in the past. It could be a murder, suicide, some other tragedy, or devil worship. This case has some of those things. A Native American tribe felt the land is cursed and they would put insane people there to die. Also there was a hidden room down in the basement with the walls painted all red. Something went on in this room where people were killing animals including pigs as part of their Satanic rituals.
There's an interesting subplot where a Catholic priest comes under physical attack from the demonic forces in the house. This priest mysteriously came down with flu like symptoms multiple times and his hands got all blistered.
The forces that were active in this house when the Lutz family was living there are dangerous I believe. Kathy Lutz's mother was a very devout Catholic. The mother, the tormented priest, and others started warning the family to get the Hell out of the house.
I felt the book is well written and provides a lot of interesting information about this case. I recommend this book to students of the occult and the paranormal.

A bit folded but I can't wait to read
So, this is the only place where I could find this book and it took a while to arrive (but I am overseas, so it was ok). Overall, all good with delivery. The product is ok, I guess I didn't realize that I bought a secondhand book. It came without the plastic film, with a few scratches and several folded pages. Not what I expected but it is not that bad.
