Nothing But Blackened Teeth

if I could get it less than a star I would. I went into this book expecting an amazing spooky time and was life with so much disappointment. I wanted ghosts, yokai, dark mysteries and got NOTHING of the sorts. this might be good for some, but this was so bad that I wish I hadn't read it. if you like to be scared, this is not the story for you.

There are so many innovative novels that take place outside of English-speaking settings. These works can be smoothly adapted to accommodate the English reader, but often lose their unique voice in the process. Others may take a bit more effort for the reader, but are able to retain attributes of the original culture in which they were written. Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassanda Khaw is a quirky horror novel that strikes a nice balance. Paranormal aficionados, Faiz and Nadia want their wedding to take place in a verified haunted house, and a wealthy friend arranges the use of a Heian mansion for their nuptials. He flies the intimate group to Japan to officiate and explore the eerie house they have reserved. All the invitees are college friends hailing from various backgrounds and ethnicities who all study Japanese language and culture. The narrator is Cat, a young woman who had been recently released from a mental health facility. Through her eyes, the reader is given a knowledgeable, if unreliable, description of the events. The party begins with festivity, but resentments and enmeshed connections emerge that tests their loyalty as a ghost starts taking victims. Khaw supplies the reader with a Japanese folklore primer and a vocabulary that reflects their surroundings. Nothing But Blackened Teeth evinces a true sense of creeping confusion and dread, but with an undercurrent of disarming wit that provides a fleeting reprieve.
