Anyway, the idea that a bunch of 20-year-olds are shaking up in a haunted house, all with entwined romantic histories and resentments sets up the perfect plot it’s been done over and over, but for good reason – bad things are bound to happen.
I love the look, smell, and feel of older homes, but I do have this niggling terror of moving into one and discovering it’s haunted a few weeks in. And the good old-fashioned haunted house setting is one I still revel in because I have an overactive imagination and haunted houses are a legitimate fear. Simply catching glimpses of this creepy cover made me uncomfortable before I had even started reading it. Over the course of one evening and 124 pages, this risen-from-the-dead bride resurfaces as she looks for her next victim. According to its lore, it houses the remains of a bride who was asked to be buried alive there when her husband-to-be never made it home for their wedding, and each year, a new girl has to be buried alive in the walls and sacrificed to the house to keep this bride happy. Apparently the bride Talia had always wanted this spooky experience to be a part of her marriage to Faiz, so she revels in the creepy past of the house. The wealthy ‘golden boy’ of the group Philip, paid for everyone to fly there and arranged the rental of this supposedly haunted property. It’s short, but it packs a more-than-spooky punch!ĥ friends gather in a decrepit old mansion in Japan to celebrate a wedding. Just looking at this frightening cover (which I had to put facedown on my nightstand, because I couldn’t stand the sight of it) gives one a sense of how scary this book truly is. Luckily, I stumbled upon this terrifying little novella, Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw, who was a new-to-me author living in Montreal. I was in search of a new Canadian-authored Halloween book to read during October, and had trouble finding something, as I typically do.
