The Language of Knives

A (very) short story, available as a free read on TOR.com.

The fantasy tale of the death rites being performed with a daughter, on a husband.
Weird and beautiful, the tale matches the writing, which set a dramatic atmosphere, is moody and consistent with the setting. Great writing.

And the freaky picture is a part of the making of this story.
