Nocturne Book Club presents an evening with GennaRose Nethercott

Join us on Saturday, April 25 at 7:00 PM as we gather at Nocturne to discuss Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart, a haunting and imaginative collection where myth and memory intertwine. These stories move through the strange edges of love, transformation, longing, and the wildness that lives just beneath the surface. Each tale feels like a fragment of folklore rediscovered, both intimate and otherworldly, lingering long after the final page.

This will be an intimate and immersive evening and we do hope you can join us to welcome GennaRose to Salem.

GennaRose Nethercott is the author of the novel Thistlefoot and the story collection Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart, as well as the book-length poem The Lumberjack’s Dove, selected by Louise Glück for the National Poetry Series.

Her work is known for its lyrical language, folkloric roots, and deep exploration of myth, transformation, and the uncanny. In addition to her books, she is a writer for the award-winning podcast Lore, where she brings haunting histories and strange stories to life.

She tours nationally and internationally performing her work, and lives in the woodlands of Vermont beside an old cemetery.

• A live, intimate conversation with GennaRose Nethercott
• A guided discussion with the Nocturne Book Club community
• A book signing with the author

There is something rare about sitting with a book that moved you and then sitting with the person who brought it into the world. This evening is an invitation into both.
