Nothing But Blackened Teeth
by Cassandra Khaw
I expected to be utterly frightened by Nothing But Blackened Teeth, but was sadly disappointed. It is an interesting plot, but I couldn't get into it, and was definitely not scared. The characters didn't seem too particularly afraid either. They seemed to work very coherently though, even though the events should have been out of this world shocking.
I loved the diverse racial makeup of the characters and the mansion seemed like another character. That said, there were way too many descriptions and metaphors. Also the Japanese words threw me off because there was so many. Dr. Google kept interrupting me so I could figure out what was being said. That might have been why I couldn't get into the feels of the story. Also the abundant teeth references was overkill. We get it, refer to title. I think this author tried way too hard. Or maybe I am missing something.
Overall I was not impressed with this story and I am so glad it was short. Read it in a couple hours. I love the cover though. Very creepy.
