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 venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends, brought back together to celebrate a wedding.

A night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare as secrets get dragged out and relationships are tested.

But the house has secrets too. 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.

Effortlessly turning the classic haunted house story on its head, Nothing but Blackened Teeth is a sharp and devastating exploration of grief, the parasitic nature of relationships, and the consequences of our actions.

  • This book was nonsense and a wasted of time.

    Reading this book legit gave me a headache. The whole book is just the MC making analogies about every little things the other character said or did. There’s is almost no mention of the ghosts/antagonist. It’s all just the MC rambling or interacting with the other characters and their personal drama. The book seemed rushed and shouldn’t even be considered a horror book. You can’t tell who’s talking while reading and If you’re not already familiar with Japanese folk lore, you’re gonna be lost. I am and was still going “huh?”. It’s not something I’d pick up again.

  • Awful

    Wow. I can’t really describe how much I hated this book. The characters were flat, one-dimensional, and predictable. The imagery was so dry and sparse that it was impossible to picture the location and surroundings. The story itself was boring and couldn’t follow a discernible thread. To top it all off, it was just over 120 pages, which is absolutely insane for the price tag this monstrosity boasts. Although I could make the argument that it was a blessing it wasn’t longer. A complete waste of time from cover to cover.

  • Fantastic, eerie & beautifully written
