Susie Moloney

Susie lives in Winnipeg, Canada with her two sons. Susie is currently at work on her fourth novel.


The Dwelling (2003) UK title, 362 Belisle St
The central "character" in Susie Moloney's second novel, is a two-story property with a Murphy bed, a working fireplace, phantom music that tinkles faintly at night and a collection of manipulative demons that play to the residents' vulnerabilities. The first buyers are a young couple whose marital tensions and financial strains leave them susceptible to the building's malevolent spirits. Then a divorced mother and her overweight, introverted son are seduced by the apparition of a playful orphan called Mariette. A near-alcoholic writer recovering from an intense break-up is the next to move in, only to suffer hallucinations of his dead father swinging from the ceiling. Moloney manipulates the tension artfully, giving the reader glimpses of the house's history and leading to a suitably grotesque ending.

"If the best measure of a horror story is how scary it is, Susie Moloney's new novel is a success. This book will scare the bejesus out of you...not via an excess of blood or violence, but by conveying a pervasive atmosphere of the macabre. The Dwelling, like most good horror stories, contains a large dollop of mystery...[and] stellar characters."
Douglas J. Johnston, Winnipeg Free Press

"Moloney intertwines powerful psychological, supernatural, and sexual undercurrents…An absorbing rainy-afternoon read."
