mmerriamNorthern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #6. "The Leviathan’s Teeth" by Kelly Barnhill
My first memory of Kelly Barnhill has nothing to do with actually meeting Kelly Barnhill. Hilary Moon Murphy was gushing about a story Kelly had written, so I went to see what all the fuss was about and was stopped cold by the talent of this writer. I was stopped cold again and stunned into silence when we did a reading together at Wiscon. I am thankful I went before Kelly, because not only can she write a hell of tale, she can read it in a way to make you feel like you are inside the story. There is no way I would have wanted to follow her.
"The Leviathan’s Teeth" is a gorgeous, atmospheric tale, the kind that gets under you skin without you realizing it, until you find yourself thinking about it days later. Let yourself be drawn in by the lush prose, but he warned: Darkness lurks here and will settle into your bones.
"The Leviathan’s Teeth" was originally published in Polluto #5, Autumn 2009
