Cassandra Khaw

Cassandra Khaw's Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a gorgeously creepy haunted house tale, steeped in Japanese folklore and full of devastating twists. A Heian-era mansion stands abandoned, its foundations resting on the bones of a bride and its walls packed with the remains of the girls sacrificed to keep her company. It’s the perfect wedding venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends. But a night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare. 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.

Have you ever cannonballed into a cold lake? The shock of an old memory is kind of like that; every neuron singing a bright hosanna: 

here we are. You forgot about us, but we didn’t forget about you.

and smelled instead like such old buildings do: green and damp and dark and hungry, hollow as a stomach that' d forgotten what it was like to eat.

Media's all about the gospel of the lone wolf, but the truth is we're all just sheep.

Half because I was tired of being unloved, being pitied like a fawn panting is last handful of breaths into a ditch. Half because I hoped it was all true.

Even if it was a house with rotting bones and a heart made out of a dead girl’s ghost, I’d give it everything it wanted just for scraps. Some unabridged attention, some love.
