GHOSTS of OCEAN AVENUE: The Lance Skelton Trilogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242011359)

A downtrodden rockstar returns home to Amityville after his mother's assault, only to be drawn into the cursed legacy of its most infamous house, where a neighbor's troubled son succumbs to occult forces linked to the Manson Family.

On Ocean Avenue, it's always 3:15 a.m. somewhere...

Lance Skelton, a folk-rock singer scarred by tragedy and estranged from his family, returns to Amityville after his foster mother is brutally assaulted outside their home. Across the street looms 112 Ocean Avenue - the house of the DeFeo murders and the Amityville Horror legend. Old friend Brian Siebert lives there now with his wife and children, including Davey, a volatile young man obsessed with music, the occult, and the house's dark history.

At first, Lance tries to reconnect with his father George and put his past behind him, but signs of supernatural disturbance at the Siebert house grow undeniable - swarms of flies, bangs through the floorboards, and a red-painted basement room pulsing with an unnatural energy. When Brian's daughter Jen vanishes on Halloween, Lance discovers Davey's diary filled with automatic writings linking Ronnie DeFeo to Charles Manson and John Ketcham, a 17th Century warlock. When his mother reawakens and identifies Davey as her attacker, it fractures Lance's world. Soon the missing girl reappears under ominous circumstances, and Davey is lauded as her rescuer, even as the community fractures into suspicion and fear.

Guided by his estranged birth mother Evelyn, now a nun, and a local priest, Father Donnelly, Lance unearths the truth: Amityville's town elders - members of a secret society - have long managed the house by cycling families through every ten years, keeping its demonic hunger contained. But Davey, branded with Manson's mark and enthralled by manipulative outsiders, has become the vessel for the house's next massacre.

As the anniversary of the DeFeo murders approaches, the house transforms into a crucible of violence. Evelyn leads an exorcism while Lance confronts Davey in a climactic showdown, armed with the ashes of an occult mask and a Native American prayer meant to seal the wound between worlds. The battle rips Lance through visions of Lennon, Manson, Morrison, and his own cursed bloodline - until he seizes a chance to rewrite his fate, and rescue his wife Josie, and his children Cassie and Jake.

Ghosts of Ocean Avenue is a supernatural thriller that fuses true crime, rock mythology, and occult horror, turning America's most notorious haunted house into the stage for a final confrontation with history itself.

Lance Skelton has returned home to face the music... and hear a familiar tune he knows all too well... pray for his soul.
