If it’s not too gauche to quote myself, I stand by what I said back in October 2021: “I cannot possibly oversell Khaw’s prose, which sometimes borders on lyrical. What I found inside that novella was beautifully grotesque. Having not read them before, all the information I had was that it centered around a haunted house and was based in Japanese folklore. When I read Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Let this The Salt Grows Heavy book review be your one and only warning-Cassandra Khaw’s latest novella is not for the faint of heart.
