Overview

Our homes help create us, and these last few pendemic years have likely made that even clearer. Our call for submissions received an amazingly diverse response, from slice-of-life to fantastical fiction. Hikers on a Scottish mountainside are hunted by an insatiable creature. A woman turns into a table for a hundred years to escape her homophobic family. A bedroom is attacked by the rest of the house. You'll find invisible beings, crises of self, and a pilot crawling from the burning wreckage of a plane crash. Home both inspires and motivates us... But houses often haunt us.

"As stated in the ""Introduction"", be it positive or negative, our homes create us. This comic anthology presents itself as a way to reflect both joyfully and deeply on what home really means, and, more specifically, what home means in the province of Alberta. After finishing Alberta Comics Anthology: Home, I was left thinking about how I would represent and tell my story of living in Alberta for 30+ years-a compelling afterthought triggered by many of the simple visuals or grandiose plot lines that are contained in the pages. Again, don't let the locality of Alberta be a deterrent to picking up this anthology - I am convinced there is a little something for everyone in here!"" - Lindsey Baird, Canadian Materials"
