Possessed

Jowita Bydlowska writes with such unsparing elegance about sex, violence, and desire. She’s a writer of keen psychological insight, who is not afraid to be funny and cutting about serious things. Zoe Whittall, author of The Spectacular

Part slow-burn psychological thriller, part claustrophobic nightmare, and all of it brushed with a tragic glaze, Possessed walks the razor’s edge that divides desire from horror. Let it pull you in, then pull you deep. Andrew Pyper, bestselling author of The Residence and The Demonologist

Sex doesn’t get hotter nor desire more unsettling than in Possessed. This is a courageous, absorbing novel by one of the most interesting writers currently at work in Canada. Barbara Gowdy, author of Little Sister

Bydlowska continues to audaciously explore subject matter that most authors are afraid to approach—our deepest, darkest desires and compulsions—and she does so with unique candor. EVENT Magazine
