"Khaw's poetic prose and stylish approach to gore make it a blood-soaked, unforgettable gem." --The New York Times

From Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth, comes The Salt Grows Heavy, a razor-sharp and bewitching fairy tale of discovering the darkness in the world, and the darkness within oneself.

A Best Horror Book of 2023 (The New York Times, Library Journal) - A Best Book of 2023 (NPR) - A Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award Finalist! - An Indie Next Pick

You may think you know how the fairy tale goes: a mermaid comes to shore and weds the prince. But what the fables forget is that mermaids have teeth. And now, her daughters have devoured the kingdom and burned it to ashes.

On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three "saints" who control them.

The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.

Includes the bonus short story, "And In Our Daughters, We Find a Voice", set in the same universe.

The Dead Take the A Train (co-written with Richard Kadrey)

My Dog Dreams Of Squeaky Balls 🐶
Color: Squeaky - Pack of 12, Size: Medium
My dog really loved these balls when I got them. It's a great variety of colors, the fabric is well-attached, and I LOVE that the squeaker is hidden under the fabric, reducing risk that it falls out and gets eaten by one of the dogs. The net carrying bag is a nice touch as well. Unfortunately, these balls do not hold up to much play. I have a medium-sized dog and he likes to mouth the ball when he catches it to squeak it. The squeaker broke on every single one of these within the first play session. Thankfully it stays contained in the sealed ball, but still, it would be nice if it lasted a *little* bit longer. Beyond the squeaker issue, my dog wears these out within a day or two of play. Keep in mind that he LOVES playing fetch and we will spend a good hour playing per night. Usually the fabric starts to detach and the ball will start breaking at the seam (the ball is two halves glued or sealed together). That may be the fault of the dog, though, since he does squeak these an awful lot while we play. Buying a stronger ball may not be an option because he enjoys the ones that are easier to squeak like these are! Overall I'm fairly happy, I just wish they lasted a little longer or cost a little less. 🐶
