"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)

Not bad... but not great either.
Style: Shampoo
Let me make one thing perfectly clear at the get go: I am spoiled when it comes to shampoo & conditioners. My wife has super fine hair so she buys the expensive Biolage stuff and I use it too because I only need a tiny little dollop for my hair. So I know how my hair feels after pricey shampoo and this.. well.. this isn't it. Mind you, it's not bad. If I wasn't so used to to Biolage, I'm sure this would feel fine. However, this definitely made my hair feel like I had just washed with something like Salon Selectives. It just felt different. Maybe it's the aloe in there but my hair just didn't feel as nice as usual when I tried it. So, if you're used to low-to-mid range store bought shampoos, you might like this a lot. Jeez that sounds pretentious! LOL, sorry! Again, it's not like my hair fell out or anything weird, but I've had the good stuff and I'll stick with the good stuff. I'm still giving this 4 stars out of fairness for a perfectly fine shampoo. It still lathered up nicely and my hair was perfectly clean, but just don't expect a high-end feel.

Good shampoo for the price
Style: Shampoo
I like the scent, it's very subtle. It also cleans my hair well. It's not a top of the line shampoo by any means, but it's good for the price point!
