Cassandra Khaw's Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a gorgeously creepy haunted house tale, steeped in Japanese folklore and full of devastating twists.

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 wedding venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends.

But a night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare. For 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.

Liked the idea, hated the execution

1 Stern

I hated this. The characters are boring and spend most of their time bickering over their sexual history with one another. It feels like the author is trying to prove she's smart by stuffing as many obscure words as possible into the writing. Forced metaphors obscure the little action there is. I never felt creeped out or in suspense because I didn't care what happened to the characters, the ghost, or the house. The plot is onion-skin thin and unsatisfying. But mostly the writing.
