In November 1974, twenty-three-year-old Ronnie DeFeo was arrested for murdering his entire family. Decades later, he was haunted by a terrifying demon from his past. But no one wanted to listen.

For years, as the legend of the Amityville murders was retold in print and film, DeFeo withdrew, growing more bitter as his twisted celebrity status increased.

And while Jackie struggles to help Patricia Fonti find peace, Eddie insists he and Jackie are two halves of a whole, that together they make up the astrological sign of the twins—the Gemini…
