hartor 's review for:

Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw

1.0

---

A hodgepodge of synonym-hunting, redundance-fixated, meandering words that disguised themselves as a novella. Some strong passages are an elegy to a better book. Sadly, this reads like someone's nightmare journal written in furious, but confused, haste and without any sense of character, pacing and simple body movement. Characters physically interact too much/too little to the point that their movements are inscrutable or ridiculous.
