My home

Abstract

My Home is a collection of the first six short stories in an on-going short story collection. The collection, set in a small southern town, mixes the real with the whimsical. The stories feature many of the local townspeople, but they mostly revolve around the character of Kyd Smylie. The critical introduction focuses on the linked story collection, influence of fairy tales, the story-telling tradition, surreal elements, and the importance of family which influences the stories of the collection.
