All the Teeth in the World

"God?"

"Not in the Biblical sense. An older sense." Cat steadied her voice with another mouthful of gin. "The Wild Hunt is more akin to the Neolithic Death Mother of Malta. Aganju, who cultivated cities in the Nigerian desert. Leshy, who lived in Slavic forests."

Cat's fingers tapped nervously on the leatherbound tome. "It's here in New York. It cannot be reasoned with-"

"I'm supposed to believe this?" Jordan said.

"It doesn't matter what you believe. Once marked, no one escapes the Wild Hunt." Cat's laugh was hollow. "You can only placate it. Give it what it wants and avert your eyes."

"And what's that?" Jordan asked. "Worship?"

"Yes, and from the little we know, what is its ritual?"

"The Hunt."

Imbued with European myth, All the Teeth in the World uses horror to explore the binding power of adult friendships in the face of implacable evil. Leslie Ward entered the woods with a noose in hand, intending to end it all, only to emerge a week later with no memory of what happened. Now terrified of the wilderness, he flees to New York City with his close friend Percy...but the mythical Wild Hunt is following, and it wants another taste of Leslie.
