In the quiet suburban streets of Amityville, evil found an address.

In 1974, at 112 Ocean Avenue, twenty-three-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. brutally murdered six members of his family with a high-powered rifle—later claiming that disembodied voices inside the house commanded him to kill.

One year later, in December 1975, George Lutz and Kathleen Lutz moved into the house with their three children and dog—fully aware of the slaughter that had occurred within its walls.

They lasted 28 days.

What followed would become one of the most infamous paranormal cases in history, later immortalized in The Amityville Horror. The Lutz family fled in terror, abandoning their possessions, claiming relentless phenomena: swarms of flies in winter, bone-chilling cold spots, violent levitations, shadowy apparitions, and a presence that seemed to breathe within the walls.

Skeptics called it a hoax.

The Lutz family never recanted.

For decades, 112 Ocean Avenue has remained a symbol of dread—its story dissected, debated, and feared.

Until now.

After the events chronicled in The Amityville Horror, a struggling middle-aged woman named Marianne and her two children accept a job no one else will take: cataloging and preparing the abandoned Lutz belongings for auction inside the house itself.

They believe they are walking into history.

They are walking into something else.

Told through 24 immersive, escalating letters, Marianne documents what begins as subtle unease—an unnatural infestation of flies, sickly-sweet odors drifting through empty rooms, sounds that echo from beneath the foundation.

Then the walls begin to answer.

Each letter grows darker.

Each revelation cuts deeper.

Each discovery pulls you closer to a secret buried beneath the house—something older than the murders, older than the Lutz family, waiting to be uncovered.

But this is not a novel.

The Amityville Letters is an experience.

Over the course of one full year, readers receive 24 physical letters—two per month—continuing the story in real time. Inside each envelope are carefully crafted clues, artifacts, documents, and trinkets recovered from the house itself.

You won’t just read about 112 Ocean Avenue.

You will investigate it.

You will piece together its secrets.

And you will begin to question whether some houses are simply haunted…
—or whether they are hungry.

Enter the house.

If you dare.
