The Salt Grows Heavy
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Khaw comes The Salt Grows Heavy, a razor-sharp and bewitching fairytale of discovering the darkness in the world, and the darkness within oneself.
"Narrator Susan Dalian viscerally conveys the gruesome body horror while deftly capturing the lush imagery." - Library Journal
"This brilliant novella is not to be missed." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
You may think you know how the fairytale 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.
