Family by micol ostow5/21/2023 While the tale is atmospheric and has creepy moments, it does not have that smooth, eerie, descriptive vibe that is notoriously King. Amity by Micol Ostow is not a retelling of the original Amity house, but rather a book inspired by the events that occurred there. While the tagline boldly states for fans of Stephen King and American Horror Story, I am not entirely sure that it did Amity any favors. Alternating between parallel narratives, Amity is a tense and terrifying tale suggested by true-crime events that will satisfy even the most demanding horror fan. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a bloody end as she's done before. She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. She knows Amity is evil and she must get her family out, but who would ever believe her? Amity isn't just a house. Gwen has lurid visions of corpses that aren't there and bleeding blisters that disappear in the blink of an eye. Connor's nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons and destruction. But something is not right about this secluded house. Ten years later, Gwen's family moves to Amity for a fresh start after she's recovered from a psychotic break. For fans of Stephen King and American Horror Story, a gruesome thriller suggested by the events of the Amityville Horror.Connor's family moves to Amity to escape shady business deals.
