I loved Cassandra Khaw’s prose, the evocative and emotional character work, its visual imagery, and of course, the visceral body horror. I loved how these two disparate characters found their way to each other and formed a unique kind of connection. I guess I’m looking for more emotional work with lyrical, immersive, emotional prose that delves into some darker places!
I tried reading some of Cassandra’s other work, but it didn’t quite hit the same. I really like the fable like framing of the salt grows heavy and I’m looking for something more along those lines. I also enjoyed T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead if that helps.
I’m a big fan of Ottessa Moshfegh’s LAPVONA which I think has similar vibes.
Thanks in advance!
