"Homebodies will leave readers entertained and enlightenedand maybe a little terrified." Literary Review of Canada "Unsettling and creepy." CBC Weekend Morning Show "LeBlanc surprises and disturbs, to the reader's intense anguish - in this collection's case, a good thing." Winnipeg Free Press "Original, inherently fascinating, and with a narrative storytelling style that is ideal for Gothic fiction and the short story format a highly recommended pick." Midwest Book Review "Homebodies is about the living who are isolated, the deceased who infiltrate our quotidian realms, and all those lacunas that quiver between uncanny and sometimes welcome spectres of love." Alberta Views Homebodies is an uncanny and ghostly debut with stories that provoke dread, abjection, and horror. The tales are intertwined and linked like a chain of dried daisies or butterfly legs: someone you used to know is on trial for murder. You work at a funeral home. Your dead grandmother calls you on the phone. You pin and preserve butterflies on a corkboard as a strange girl knocks on your door. You put a bike lock on the fridge. You sleepwalk. You attend a party. You get sick. You get an IV infusion. You dont get better.The stories in Homebodies show that you dont need a house to be haunted - the body can do that all on its own.
