"An evil house manipulates its residents to dark ends in this novel inspired by The Amityville Horror. . . . A dark read for a darker night." — Kirkus Reviews
Here is a house of ruin and rage, of death and deliverance.
Here is where I live, not living.
Here is always mine.
When Connor's family moves to Amity, a secluded house on the peaceful banks of New England's Concord River, his nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons, destruction, and revenge. Dreams he kind of likes. Dreams he could make real, with Amity's help.
Ten years later, Gwen's family moves to Amity for a fresh start. Instead, she's haunted by lurid visions, disturbing voices, and questions about her own sanity. But who would ever believe her? And what could be done if they did?
Because Amity isn't just a house. She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a violent end as she's done before.
Inspired by a true-crime story, Amity spans generations to weave an overlapping, interconnected tale of terror, insanity, danger, and death.
"Calling to mind that Stephen King feeling, Ostow brings the most horrifying house in the world to life with chilling intimacy." —Danielle Paige, New York Times–bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die
"Steeped in atmosphere and punctuated by unsettling imagery." — Publishers Weekly
"A page-turning thriller, Amity will have readers begging to keep the lights on at night." — Voice of Youth Advocates
