anson's greatest!
that's right. better thought of, better built, better psychologically, better plot, more realistic than Amityville. this is anson's real masterpiece. a house is being moved next door to a couple. where does it come from? who lived there before? why doesn't anyone know the owner? mysterious things being to happen, i won't tell you what,but it's interesting read, wll thought of by anson. the plot is good, espescially psychologically. great descriptions at times. the ideas are carried out great, i am among other things referring to the great timing in the book. i won't give away the details, because they are fun to read. so read

Anson's second novel doesn't disappoint.
A house, possessed by an evil force that may be the devil itself, moves about the country, snaring people in its trap, forcing each new tenant into committing a similiar double murder. Can the house's newest owners break the spell before it's too late? It's a fairly nifty premise and author Jay Anson works very hard at building suspense and mystery with it. Some of the nightmare sequences and the ending, especially so, have stuck with me over the years. No classic but a book so well remembered is worth revisiting. Recommended.

Something to get an escape
If you're the devil-lover or a thrill chiller, this should definitely be one of your favorites. Jay Anson did a very good job with the plot of the story, and with a little bit of mystery and thill accompanies with the simple language he used, all make every pages very intriguing. He used many interesting details, and he kept the suspense through the whole book until the end when all hell broke loose...well, I didn't very much like the ending because I want everybody to go home happy, but I shouldn't say much abt it...because the people who are reading this now, well, haven't read this book yet. However, I strongly recommend this book, it's not time consuming at all. I finished it in abt two days...and I'm not even that good in reading. So take a break off of work or school and crush yourself between your busy schedules to get a little escape from the tiresome reality. Good luck and have a great time reading. Besides, I can't recall the names of the characters and can't go into much details abt this book, because, I read this book abt three years ago. But planning to read again soon...just waiting till I forget most of what happened in there. Anyways, the story pretty much revolves around a couple and the wife's best friend who had had a crush on her. The couple lived in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, until, one day, an old house from 666 street was delivered and put on a property near theirs....and blocked their sunset view...the husband accidentally went in (cause the door opened by itself! Brrrr!) and discovered a mysterious coin from that house...and from then on...everything abt that house and the coin had come to haunt the couple, made their life miserable and full of unsolved mysteries....and this, was where all hell began.
