Summary: Original and Terrifying
Review: 666~ That was the number on the old house that suddenly appeared on Sunset Brook Lane.Inside, a red light flickers from an unseen source. Inside, mocking figures stare down from the windows in a grotesque mimicry of bloody horrors. Inside, an ancient supernatural relic waits for human hands to touch it, for human eyes to see it's diabolical visions. For this is no ordinary house. This is a house that appears and disappears from time to time, place to place, to haunt the lives of the innocent. A house where the same bloody, dreadful, eternal crime occurs again and again, bringing its victims to the brink of Hell, to the hands of the Devil himself. And for Keith and Jennifer Olsen, it's door has just swung open...TERRIFYING AND ORIGINAL HORROR

Summary: Anson's second novel doesn't disappoint.
Review: 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.

Summary: The Horror at 666 Sunset Brooke Lane...
Review: First he brought us The Amityville Horror, now we are treated to 666. A new level of horror, courtesy of Jay Anson. This one is about a possessed house also, although more prevalently satanistic. A house appears out of nowhere, strange lights in the middle of the night, a morbid history, a mysterious owner - all the makings of a classic monsterpiece. The house, a dominant mass, effects the environment wickedly, causing a disruption in the seeet little relationship of a suburban couple - hellish yuppie-lust at 666 Sunset Brooke Lane. The house seems to live & breath, planning sadictic tortures for the unsuspecting mortals. The infectuous insanity culminates, as the dark prophesy in the hexagonal room comes true. The horror lives on. "Evil" can never be destroyed, only redirected. It always comes back...

Summary: One of the most terrifying books I have ever read!
Review: For some reason this novel (by the author of that notorious hoax The Amityville Horror) has been almost forgotten. I don't see why! I read the first few chapters in bed at night (!) and I swore I would never read it in the dark AGAIN! Mr. Anson remembers a cruicial element that most modern horror authors forget: shear unadulterated TERROR!

Summary: However others find this book even readable is beyond me
Review: Having thought Amityville was absolutely horrid, I read Anson's other attempt with an open mind: How could anything be worse than that first novel? Little did I know, however, the extremes of bad writing which the author is able to delve into. The characters are far worse than those of even a typical supermarket-checkout-stand-paperback novel: one-dimensional, boring, and at times, completely annoying. The plot moves along like a slug through table salt, and it's as painful to read as it is to watch that slug turn into a mound of sludge. The only good parts of the novel are those in which the pieces are fitted together: the coin, the wood in the house... And the minister/brother and satanist kids are certainly a quaint touch.

Summary: Read as a Child, and now as an adult...
Review: I bought this book in paperback when my mother swore she'd kill me if I was caught reading something of this sort. I stole away on my bike at 13...god, this was like 1979 or something...and bought it anyway. I read it. I got scared. I just picked it up again today in a used local bookstore. Wow, hardbound, even ! I'm 36 now. Isn't it strange how we come back to things in our lives? I'm sure it will be a fun read. mike

Summary: Can't wait to get this again.
Review: I first came across this book when I was about 13 or 14. A couple of years later I found it in the library again and read it a second time. It was just as horrifying and I am currently looking forward to reading it again (as soon as I get my hands on it). I can still recall how terrifying the book was and definately recommend it. Great reading.

Summary: great horror
Review: I first read this book when I was about thirteen years old, having seen it in a supermarket check-out stand. It scared the bejeesus out of me way back then. About ten years later, as an adult, I saw it at a library and checked it out just out of curiosity, to see what exactly scares young thirteen-year-olds. Surprisingly, I was still spooked. It's a chilling, spooky book with a lot of the same chills and thrills of Anson's previous book, The Amityville Horror. Not the scariest thing I've ever read, but a good book for horror fans. It's hard to find, so if you see it, snap it up!
