Join us as we welcome former Stoneham resident G.G. Silverman as she discusses her early love of horror, how outsider-ness and her Italian heritage shape her perspective and work, and THE BLOOD YEAR DAUGHTER’s evolution. Q&A will follow after the presentation, come with questions! 

G.G. Silverman’s debut fairytale horror collection, The Blood Year Daughter, came out this April 2026!

“Silverman’s women and girls escape smiling captors, draw blood to curse their loved ones, and wield fear to defend themselves in post-apocalyptic worlds. They ignore the insults of rotting Elderwomen filled with flies, resist marriage proposals, and fill themselves—joyfully—with multitudes of snakes. They are murdered and choose to live again.

Drawing from folktales, Silverman’s Italian roots, and killers both real and imagined, The Blood Year Daughter’s stories recall Kelly Link and Carmen Maria Machado. Spare and glittering as a spiderweb, sharp as a needle through a husband’s nose, they establish G.G. Silverman as a formidable voice in feminist horror and magical realism.”
