Audiobooks Like The Amityville Horror

Ray Porter brings the same economical, pressure-building delivery to The Amityville Horror that he does to his thriller work — he reads the allegedly true events with a studied neutrality that somehow makes the supernatural elements more disturbing than they would be with a performatively frightened narrator. At six hours it's taut. Nine recommendations feature Porter's narration, unified by his particular brand of controlled menace across horror and thriller.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
