That was the hell-black number on the old house that suddenly appeared on Sunset Brook Lane. Inside, a red light flickers from an unseen source...Inside, mocking figures stare down from the windows in a grotesque mimicry of bloody horrors...Inside an ancient supernatural relic waits for human hands to lift it, for human eyes to see its diabolical visions. For this is no ordinary house. This is a house that appears and disappears from time to time, place to place, to haunt the lives of the innocent. A house where the same bloody, dreadful, eternal crime occurs again and again, bringing its victims to the brink of hell, into the hands of the Devil himself. And for Keith and Jennifer Olsen, its door has just swung open...

It is Tuesday, April 10, 1979. A nice young married couple, Keith and Jennifer Olson, arrive home at their house in New Castle, New York, to discover that in the few days they have been on vacation, something unexpected and startling has happened. A house has mysteriously appeared on the vacant lot across from theirs-a house that soon begins to exert a powerful, frightening, demonic influence on their lives...
666 takes the reader into the world of evil that Jay Anson so brilliantly explored in The Amityville Horror-an evil that lies unexpected behind the door of an ordinary looking house, a house that reappears from time to time near any city, waiting invitingly, innocently, for someone to rent it, a house in which a dreadful, bloody, orgiastic crime recurs again and again, bringing its victims screaming to the very brink of hell-and into the hands of the Devil himself.
As Keith becomes more and more obsessed by the house, with its intricately carved beams that seemed to have witnessed every human crime and its strange, etched windows that glow with a malevolent light, Jennifer finds herself drawn to her friend David Carmichael, a handsome, self assured man who is everything Keith is not...Inexorably, without their realizing what is happening to them, their lives are being changed by a presence in the house, a powerful force who lets nothing stand in his way-and who at last appears to his victims in a heart-stopping scene of gruesome violence you will never forget.

This book was slow in the beginning but I'm glad I stuck with it. It has a lot going on at once and several different stories all rolled into one. But it is an excellent story and well written.

On Christmas Eve in 1985, a hunter found a young boy's body alongside an icy cornfield in Nebraska. The residents of Chester, Nebraska buried him as "Little Boy Blue," unclaimed and unidentified-until a phone call from Ohio 2 years later led authorities to Eli Stutzman, the boy's father. Eli Stutzman, the son of an Amish bishop, was by all appearances a dedicated farmer and family man in the country's strictest religious sect. But behind this quiet facade was a man involved with pornography, sadomasochism, and drugs. After the suspicious death of his pregnant wife, Eli took his preeschool-age son, Danny, and hit the road on a sexual odyssey ending with his conviction for murder. But the mystery of Eli and the fate of his son didn't end on the barren Nebraska's plains. It was just beginning...

The sea surrendered the grim evidence, and a beautiful newlywed found it washed up on a tiny atoll: an odd aluminum container and something glittering in the sand-a gold tooth ensconced in a scorched human skull. 7 years earlier, 2 couples separately set sail in search of a peaceful life: a wealthy yachtsman and his wife, an ex-con and his sexy girlfriend. Their destinies converged on a South Pacific island hundreds of miles from civilation. A savage murder left 2 of them there forever. A chilling crime. A baffling mystery. An explosive courtroom drama. A finale almost as stunning as the crime itself. THIS IS A NON-FICTION BOOK

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world classic-a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazi's occupying Holland, a 13 year old jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next 2 years, until their wherabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annexe" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving ,and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

It is a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the city's woes is a series of shocking crimes in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently moved from the city's streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that's what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her-literally and figuratively-she is determined to finally end Hoyt's awful influence...even if it means receiving more resistance from her all male homicide squad. But Rizzoli isn't counting on the U.S. government's sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isn't counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vandetta...

I loved this series. Very wordy, could have been just as good with half the words but I give it 5 stars just for being an awsome story! Well developed characters, great story line. I'm not normally into vampire books, but this was really well written. I can't wait to read something else by him.
