Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw

Cassandra Khaw’s Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a haunting novella that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page. Set in a decaying Heian-era mansion, this story blends Japanese folklore with modern horror, creating a chilling atmosphere perfect for a late-night read.
