Natalie Zett is an author, journalist, and podcaster whose work explores forgotten tragedies, family history, and the eerie ways the past refuses to stay buried. She is the author of Flower in the River, a compelling historical fiction book that uncovers the lost legacy of the 1915 Eastland Disaster—a tragedy that claimed over 800 lives, including a member of her own family 

Inspired by her research, Natalie also created the Flower in the River podcast, where she  explores untold stories, historical mysteries, and the impact of personal and collective memory. Through her writing and podcasting, she brings history to life, shining a light on those lost to time.

Her latest work, The Eastland Hungers, is a historical horror short story that reimagines the Eastland's dark legacy. Drawing from real survivor accounts, deep historical research, and supernatural folklore, the story asks: What if the Eastland never truly died? What if it's waiting to rise again?

When she's not writing or podcasting, Natalie is deeply engaged in genealogy, writing and historical preservation. She is passionate about giving voices to those people that history has forgotten—because, as The Eastland Hungers reminds us, some things remember us, even when we try to forget them.
