Description
The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw is a dark and bewitching fairy tale that delves into the darkness within oneself. A mermaid's daughters have devoured the kingdom, and she must navigate a treacherous world to survive. Joined by a mysterious plague doctor, she embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the secrets of her past and the true nature of her existence. In this haunting and atmospheric tale, the boundaries between good and evil are blurred, and the lines between reality and myth are tested. A companion short story, "And In Our Daughters, We Find a Voice", is included, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. Cassandra Khaw's poetic prose and stylish approach to horror make this a gripping and unforgettable read.
