New Release Notes 08/30/22: Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Shaw

Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Shaw

“A creepy, meticulously-crafted tragedy and frankly, one of the most beautifully written haunted stories I've ever read. As in the best ghost stories, the house is full of ghosts, but it's the people who are the houses….Nothing But Blackened Teeth will linger with you.” —NPR

Fall. Is. Coming. And with Fall, comes Halloween. And with Halloween, that means SPOOKY STORIES. We were in love with this slim novella that gets between our skin and goes on to live there, writhing and shrieking until the very breathless end. With a story just as frightening as it’s cover, this book will be sure to delight and get you in the scary season.

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 venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends, brought back together to celebrate a wedding.

A night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare as secrets get dragged out and relationships are tested.

But the house has secrets too. 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.

Effortlessly turning the classic haunted house story on its head, Nothing but Blackened Teeth is a sharp and devastating exploration of grief, the parasitic nature of relationships, and the consequences of our actions.
