"Khaw's got a sterling premise, enduring lore, and the fresh talent to voice it." ― Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box A gorgeously creepy classic haunted house story based on Japanese folklore, combining The Haunting of Hill House with The Ring. Cat joins her old friends, who are in search of the perfect wedding venue, to spend the night in a Heian-era manor in Japan. Trapped in webs of love, responsibility and yesterdays, they walk into a haunted house with their hearts full of ghosts. This mansion is long abandoned, but it is hungry for new guests, and welcomes them all – welcomes the demons inside them – because it is built on foundations of sacrifice and bone. Their night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare as the house draws them into its embrace. For lurking in the shadows is the ghost bride with a black smile and a hungry heart. And she gets lonely down there in the dirt.

Blending cosmic horror, dark fantasy, and cyberpunk intrigue, short fiction and novella writing have reshaped contemporary horror literature through visceral prose and eerie folklore. Cassandra Khaw, a Malaysian author born in August 1984, gained widespread recognition with the horror novella Nothing But Blackened Teeth, which became a USA Today bestseller and showcased a distinctive narrative voice steeped in macabre detail.
Beyond standalone fiction, the author has built an extensive body of work across tabletop role-playing games, video game narrative design, short fiction magazines, and novellas, weaving psychological dread with mythological themes.
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Khaw grew up watching classic horror movies before building a career as a tech and video game journalist, contributing articles to publications like Eurogamer, Ars Technica, The Verge, and Engadget. This background led directly into interactive storytelling, writing for tabletop RPGs and major video games such as Wasteland 3, Falcon Age, Fallen London, and Sunless Skies, while also editing titles like World of Horror and working as a senior scriptwriter for Ubisoft Montreal.
Beginning in 2014, Khaw published short stories in major genre magazines including Clarkesworld, Fireside Fiction, Uncanny Magazine, Shimmer, Lightspeed, and Tor.com. Their hardboiled Lovecraftian novella Hammers on Bone (2016) was a finalist for the British Fantasy Award and Locus Award. Khaw followed this with the companion novella A Song for Quiet (2017), the paranormal romantic comedy Bearly a Lady, and horror releases such as Why Didn't You Just Leave and What Doesn't Break.
Khaw's writing is distinguished by sensory-rich prose, striking body horror, and deep explorations of mythic structures. Their narratives frequently examine trauma, grief, personal autonomy, and the complex monsters born from human obsession. Integrating elements ranging from cosmic horror to Asian folklore, Khaw constructs tense, immersive settings where atmospheric decay mirrors the internal conflicts of the characters.
