Join Francine Cunningham, the 2023-24 Canadian Writer-in-Residence, on May 6th for her monthly online bookclub. Please see our website for a list of all book club dates and books under discussion. Everyone welcome! This event is organized by the Calgary Distinguished Writers Program. Our May 6 selection is Man Made Monsters, a novel by Andrea L. Rogers (illustrated by Jeff Edwards). About the book: “Horror fans will get their thrills in this collection – from werewolves to vampires to zombies – all the time-worn horror baddies are there. But so are predators of a distinctly American variety – the horrors of empire, of intimate partner violence, of dispossession. And so too the monsters of Rogers’ imagination, that draw upon long-told Cherokee stories – of Deer Woman, fantastical sea creatures, and more. Following one extended Cherokee family across the centuries, from the tribe’s homelands in Georgia in the 1830s to World War I, the Vietnam War, our own present, and well into the future, each story delivers a slice of a particular time period that will leave readers longing for more.”
