Reviews

Kelley Armstrong author of Bitten A refreshingly original take on the traditional ghost story. I sat up all night to þnish it -- and not just because I was afraid to turn out the lights.

Tananarive Due author of The Living Blood Unexpected twists, an array of well-drawn characters and a house with very bad manners make The Dwelling seductively readable. You'll think twice the next time you go house-hunting.

The house at 352 Belisle is strange, and realtor Glenn Darnley has had trouble selling it all three times it has come on the market. It is hard to understand why so many people have found it unpleasant, but it could have something to do with the noises from the attic or the cold draft from the closet. In this thrilling read, the tension between the lives of those living in this haunted house and the deaths of those no longer living (but still present) keep the pages turning and all the lights in the house on. As in Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Anne Rivers Siddons's The House Next Door, the house here is a character in its own right, but Moloney (A Dry Spell; Bastion Falls) has thankfully peopled the narrative with other well-developed characters as well, ones with such recognizable strengths and weaknesses that the reader actually cares about their outcomes. The ending is horrible but poignant and exactly fitting. Recommended for all public libraries.-Kim Uden Rutter, Lake Villa Dist. Lib., IL Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
