Jay Anson

The Amityville Horror

In the Afterword, Anson says the Lutzes reconstructed their residence together on a tape recorder and that he checked those recordings for internal consistency and interviewed others. He also says the family did not learn of Mancuso’s difficulties until the final draft.

Anson’s own methodological account in A Note From the Author. The recordings, interviews and asserted information separation are not independently inspected in this source. The separately credited Preface belongs to Reverend John Nicola. · lines 2689–2695
