I'm guessing that out of the 128 pages, 28 was story. I love my descriptions, but there is a limit, and this book went way over it, making it seem as if the vivid descriptions were the plot while the 'ghost story' was just a minor thing. It was tiring listening to this, and had I been reading, I would've stopped. Kudos to the author for taking the time to find at least one, but most of the time three or more descriptives for a man's face, his hair, or the color of something, the texture, etc. Nothing but Blackened Teeth fills the mouth like a big bite of tendonmeat that requires chewing with all the muscle in your jaw, mixing savor with a visceral density. The only sentences that do not have a description is the dialogue.Įven though most of these descriptions are really vivid, creepy, and amazing, there are too many and they buried the story.
There is limited backstories for the characters, but a tad bit more about the house and the 'haunting', but the story itself is hidden underneath layers and layers of descriptions. In Nothing But Blackened Teeth, the eerie smile of the manor’s ghost is described in visceral detail, including even the stench of vinegar and rust that wafts from her mouth, hinting at the ingredients that were historically used to create this ink. Five friends who love ghost stories rent a mansion with a dark history of a wedding gone bad because two of those friends want to wed in a haunted house.
