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 don't get better.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe stories in \u003ci\u003eHomebodies\u003c\/i\u003e show that you don't need a house to be haunted - the body can do that all on its own.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAMY LEBLANC \u003c\/b\u003eis a PhD student in English and creative writing at the University of Calgary.
