The Salt Grows Heavy is a horror novella by author, Cassandra Khaw. This is my second read by this author, the first being Nothing but Blackened Teeth. I first heard about this author through the Books of Horror Facebook group and after reading Nothing but Blackened Teeth and loving it, I was excited to read something else by this author. This author knows how to write creepy stories. The story to me felt like a mixture of dark fantasy and horror folklore tale. The imagery is stunning and the prose feels otherworldly. You won’t want to miss this one.
