Is there anyone left on the planet who hasn’t heard of the Amityville Horror? I didn’t think so. Visit her at Find all of my reviews at: ĪRC received from NetGalley. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, alongside her Emmy Award-winning husband, their daughter, and a finicky French bulldog. Her young adult horror novel, AMITY, will release from Egmont in August 2014, and her first chapter book series, LOUISE TRAPEZE, will debut in Spring 2015 from Random House. She received her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Micol's graphic novel, SO PUNK ROCK (and Other Ways to Disappoint Your Mother), was named a 2009 Booklist Top Ten Arts Books for Youth Selection, a Booklist Top Ten Religion Books for Youth Selection, and a Sydney Taylor Notable Book for Teens.
She started her reign of terror with Egmont with her novel FAMILY, which Elizabeth Burns named a favorite of 2012 on her School Library Journal-syndicated blog, A Chair, a Fireplace, a Tea Cozy. Micol Ostow has been writing professionally since 2004, and in that time has written and/or ghostwritten over 40 published works for young readers. Inspired by a true-crime story, Amity spans generations to weave an overlapping, interconnected tale of terror, insanity. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a violent end as she's done before. She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. But with her history, who would ever believe her? And what could be done if they did?īecause Amity isn't just a house. Instead, she's haunted by lurid visions, disturbing voices, and questions about her own sanity. Ten years later, Gwen's family moves to Amity for a fresh start. Dreams he could make real, with Amity's help.
When Connor's family moves to Amity, a secluded house on the peaceful banks of New England's Concord River, his nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons. Here is a house of ruin and rage, of death and deliverance.
