Do you like science fiction, fantasy, horror, or other speculative books? Meet fellow weird readers to discuss strange and thought-provoking fiction and non-fiction at Weird Book Club, an adult book discussion group that meets at Midwest Coast Brewing on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Reserved book club copies are available to checkout at the Manning Branch circulation desk, while supplies last. Many titles are also available as eBooks or eAudiobooks on the Hoopla and/or Libby app. This month's title is Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott. In this fiction debut from folklorist and National Poetry series winner Nethercott, the estranged Yaga siblings--woodworker Bellatine and street performer Isaac--are brought together by a surprising inheritance from Russia: a sentient house on chicken legs. Alas, the Longshadow Man has followed the house to the United States and is now tracking down its new owners with evil intent. --Library Journal This event is for ages 21+ Accessibility Need sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?
