A riveting psychological family drama that takes place over a week in the confined secretive hotbed space of a crumbling mansion home (based on the house Melanie grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, where the novel is also set)

Hobson was a protégé of Bob Shacochis’ at Florida State, and the early draft of Summer Cannibals came to us through Bob. She also studied under Robert Antoni and cites both authors as influences on her work

Born in Christchurch, New Zealand, Hobson immigrated to Canada when she was ten. She holds dual New Zealand and Canadian citizenship
