The Salt Grows Heavy
by Cassandra Khaw
3.5 stars rounded down.
This was a gory take on The Little Mermaid, broken down and beaten into something twisted. THE SALT GROWS HEAVY was beautifully written, but (as countless people have mentioned) it’s bogged down by the author’s use of SAT vocab words. Every once in a while, sure– but if I have to keep the dictionary website open on my phone while reading a short story it’s way too much.
