Next week, Tor Nightfire will publish the latest horror novella from the always-excellent Cassandra Khaw: Find Me Where it Ends! Every new book by Khaw is something to celebrate, so we’re very happy to be able to share an advance excerpt with our readers. Before we get to the excerpt, here’s the synopsis:
A woman wakes up to find the black hound of Death at her front door in this hauntingly beautiful tale…
Antigone is no stranger to death.
For the women of her family, death always comes in the form of a black dog.
When Antigone’s own black dog arrives, she isn’t afraid. She invites it inside, where it soon becomes a daily source of companionship and comfort. It also forces her to reflect on the life she’s led — the parts of herself she’s hollowed out for the sake of others, and the bone-deep exhaustion that’s hounded her every step.
Her Death’s arrival must be a sign, permission to finally let go. To rest. Because while mortality is inevitable, living is a choice.
But a good death comes at a price.
And now, on with the excerpt…!
