Homebodies

What does it mean to be at home? Are we ever truly alone in our houses?In " Twisted," a woman loses her best friend' s daughter while an old acquaintance is on trial for murder; " Nectar and Nickle" introduces readers to a young girl whodigs up the corpse of the family cat and comforts herself with macabre fairy tales. In " Garden Bed," secrets are buried in the garden plot with the best of intentions, but they are dug up by a fox who watches and sees everything. Haunted bodies, haunted houses, and haunted relationships colour this collection to show us that our homes are not our own. We are only guests.
