"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.

good durable shirts
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
The Carhartt K87 pocket t-shirt is a classic for a reason. The heavyweight cotton material feels durable and high quality, making it great for both work and everyday wear. It holds up well over time and doesn’t feel flimsy like cheaper t-shirts. The loose fit is one of the standout features—it gives you plenty of room to move and stays comfortable even during long days. The chest pocket is a nice touch for small items, and the overall construction feels solid with minimal twisting after washing. Comfort-wise, it starts a bit stiff but softens up after a few washes, which is pretty typical for thicker cotton shirts. It’s also available in a wide range of colors, so it’s easy to grab a few and rotate them. The main downside is the fit can run large and slightly boxy, so you might want to size down depending on how you like your shirts to fit. Some people may also find the heavyweight fabric a bit warm in hot weather. Overall, it’s a reliable, long-lasting t-shirt that delivers great value for the price and is perfect if you want something durable and simple.

Great quality item!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Great quality & very durable! We love any product made by Carhartt! The size is always great, they do not shrink and the neckline does not stretch out easily, which makes for a great casual wear appearance!

It’s ok
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Carbon Heather
The collar area felt kind of tight for him. The shirt is nice and long, but not thick.

Carbon Carhartt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Carbon Heather
Classic Carhartt quality. Reasonably thick t shirt with a bit of stretch, but still sturdy and rugged. I put this on as soon as it arrived. I have nothing but a plethora of carhartt t's for the spring and summer. Added this color, Carbon Heather, to my collection. It looks plain cool. Almost like carbon fiber.
