Amityville: The Nightmare Continues is a 1991 horror novel written by Robin Karl. It is the final installment and attempted reboot of Amityville book series.
Amityville, New York. Once the Dutch Colonial house on Ocean Avenue had been the scene of a gruesome possession that sent its owners fleeing for their sanity and their lives. For years, it had remained abandoned, without any sign of disturbance. Then 11-year-old Kooch Webster dared his buddy Lester to sneak into the house. They only wanted to steal some junk to make a little pocket money. But something terrible still lurked within the crumbling walls—a monstrous evil that threatened to destroy not only the boys, but anyone who came in contact with them. Insidiously, the evil within the house spread into the community; a pawnbroker who bought the boys' stolen goods was found brutally slain, a priest disappeared mysteriously after visiting the house, and soon Kooch, Lester and their families were caught in an unrelenting web of terror for which there was no rational explanation, and no possible escape.
There are three subplots, which are:
The book ignores the Defeo and Lutz storylines and instead attempts to start a new storyline. The book like the previous books was released as non-fiction. Although the plot of the book is impossible because the Cromarty Family moved in after the Lutz family and experienced no haunting. Also, they moved in only a year after the Lutz family fled, not 10 years as described in the book. The book is left open for a sequel, however none has ever been made.
