"The eloquence of the author's flowing prose...gives a poetic quality to an already articulate script. There are absolute moments of genuine suspense in the classic Hitchcock vein." - August Krickel Post & Courier Drama / 4M / 4F / 1 Interior Amityville 1925 is the first published stage play about the infamous house of murder and hauntings in Long Island, New York.
