Nothing But Blackened Teeth (Paperback)
Cassandra Khaw (author)Published: 26/09/2023
"Khaw's got a sterling premise, enduring lore, and the fresh talent to voice it." -Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box.
A gorgeously creepy classic haunted house story based on Japanese folklore, combining The Haunting of Hill House with The Ring.
Cat joins her old friends, who are in search of the perfect wedding venue, to spend the night in a Heian-era manor in Japan. Trapped in webs of love, responsibility and yesterdays, they walk into a haunted house with their hearts full of ghosts.
This mansion is long abandoned, but it is hungry for new guests, and welcomes them all - welcomes the demons inside them - because it is built on foundations of sacrifice and bone.
Their night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare as the house draws them into its embrace. For lurking in the shadows is the ghost bride with a black smile and a hungry heart.
And she gets lonely down there in the dirt.
