Two-Time Bram Stoker Award-winning author Robert P. Ottone brings the terror of Amytiville back to life with chilling precision in Amytiville Awakens.

The Amityville Horror House is demolished, unleashing terror upon the unsuspecting suburban community of North Amytiville and its neighboring Village. With the fabled house gone, the two towns begin experiencing an onslaught of unsettling phenomena.

People go missing. A putrid, almost fungal spore-like mold begins festering across lawns. Shadows move and orbs glitter in the night. An unlikely band of characters comes together to battle a supernatural nightmare that threatens to tear all of Long Island apart.

Ottone’s inspired, fresh take on the most famous haunted house in the world is a sprawling supernatural tale of evil as it often comes: where you live, where you sleep.

PRAISE FOR AMITYVILLE AWAKENS

"Ottone amplifies the lore of the Amityville house by unleashing the home's insidious and vile entity on the two towns. Unrelenting and gritty, Amityville Awakens is a harrowing tale of evil battling against the strength of teenage unrequited love."

—Amanda Headlee, author of Till We Become Monsters and Madness and Greatness Can Share the Same Face

"Robert Ottone ably demonstrates that the obvious solution to a supernatural problem is not always the best one, in a bold and brutal filmic novel which takes Amityville further than it has ever gone before."

—John Linwood Grant, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of Where All is Night, and Starless

"Remodeling the most haunted house on the east coast, Ottone uses a sledgehammer to expose a nightmare. It’s chilling to be reminded: All that could stand between a town’s future and a lurking evil might be a skim of dried plaster."

—Meg Ripley, author of Necrology
