About this audiobook

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, bestselling true story that gripped the nation, the story of a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe.

Ratings and reviews

I love this book so I got it with my points & those are HARD TOO GET...but after I downloaded it, I pushed play & bam! 90% of the book SOUNDS like a DAMN CASH REGESTER. OVER, OVER & OVER! I can record it with another phone to show you if needed Thanks,J.Clift 🤗

Had this one on my wishlist for a while. After listening I almost wished I hadn’t. Very spooky indeed. My only question afterwards was: would the home have responded to a different religion’s cleansing attempt? Or was it only responsive to the Christian/Catholic kind?

It was a bone chilling book I loved it

About the author

Jay Anson (1921–1980) began as a copy boy on the New York Evening Journal in 1937 and later worked in advertising and publicity. With more than 500 documentary scripts for television to his credit, he was associated with Professional Films, Inc. He died in 1980.

Ray Porter is a prolific voice actor that has recorded for over 100 audio books and dozens of television series, video games and video shorts. Among his wide variety of audiobook credits are The Silver Linings Playbook, The Black Hole War, and the Joe Ledger series. He claims, “With every book I’ve done, I have found that the author has a voice and if I can just do my best to stay out of the way of that voice, then the writer will convey what he’s trying to put across. So for me, it’s really more about enabling the text and what the author is trying to say.”
