A really interesting twist on the mermaid myth. Super gory & atmospheric, with just enough purple prose to really build the fairy tale-like quality. I was left wanting more, which I think is always a good sign! The only part of the story I think genuinely needs a bit more explanation is the connection between our two main characters.
Graphic: Body horror, Gore, and Violence
Minor: Cannibalism
