Thistlefoot
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR • The Wall Street Journal • Washington Independent Review of Books • BookPage • Book Riot
In the tradition of modern fairytales comes a sweeping epic rich in Eastern European folklore—a debut novel about the ancestral hauntings that stalk us, and the uncanny power of story.
"This book blooms from a fairy tale to a panoptic story that defies space and time, brimming with creativity, wisdom, and love."
-Kirkus STARRED Review
“Nethercott is a literary trickster god who has crafted a wonderfully imaginative, wholly enchanting novel of witness, survival, memory, and family. Thistlefoot shimmers with magic and mayhem."
—Libba Bray
A genuinely rollicking adventure....skillfully stuffed with startling rollickers. Prepare to be thoroughly, comprehensively, joyfully rollicked.”
—Lemony Snicket
Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart (and other stories)
COMING SOON!
A collection of dark fairytales and fractured folklore exploring how our passions can save us—or go monstrously wrong.

The Lumberjack's Dove
Winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series (Ecco/HarperCollins)
“Pithy, magical, its many insights, its cautions and clarifications, unfolding in a chain of brief scenes and koan-like revelations. This is a book of unexpected lightness and buoyancy, as necessary in our tense period as the more urgent confrontations.”
-Louise Glück
