A fever dream retelling of The Little Mermaid filled with terrors and unexpected new beginnings. This novella has lavish prose, fitting for its homage to fairy tales. Teeming with brutality and the cruel nature of man, The Salt Grows Heavy is surprisingly romantic, using themes of eternal love and devotion as a counterpoint to the bleakness of life. Bizarre and beguiling, this dark retelling is a compelling read for any fan of classic fairy tales.
