The Salt Grows Heavy

This is a beautifully written novella with lots of body horror that very unfortunately made me feel nothing. A mermaid, who was held captive and was mutilated by her husband, is traveling with a plague doctor until one day they run into children playing a game of “piggy.” I know there were themes in this that should have enraged or touched me, but yeah a complete miss for and I don't know why, it has so many things I normally like. Honestly I think it was too intellectual for me.
