A short story collection unlike any other, TURDUCKEN explores power dynamics, bad choices, and the things we do for those we love.

Turducken was published by Spaceboy in 2023 and is available in e-book, paperback, and hardback at Amazon UK, Amazon US, as well as Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, Waterstones, Foyles, and orderable at your regular bookstores. Reviews of Turducken can be found at Full House and Sacred Chickens.
"It's full of investigations of language, experimentation with style, and above all, a fiercely playful intelligence...McLeod dazzles with her raw ability."
- TJ Price, author of The Disappearance of Tom Nero, review of TURDUCKEN
