Buried Alive: Legend says that the Heian mansion had the family's daughter buried alive beneath it after her groom-to-be died before their wedding, and that other girls were sacrificed over the years to keep her company.The Bully: Talia is very nasty to Cat and Lin, but her nastiest rant to them happened when the ohaguro-bettari had replaced her, so she might not dislike him and only dislike Cat.The Blank: The ohaguro-bettari, or the bride's ghost has no facial features except for a widely-grinning mouth with black teeth.

She even lashes out at Cat when Cat correctly guesses that Talia didn't mean it when asking about Cat's well being. Talia still assumes that Cat did this out of jealousy and malice years later. She claims it's because Cat tried to break her and Faiz up when they'd only just started dating, but it's implied that Cat has had serious mental health episodes in the past.

Alpha Bitch: Talia is extremely nasty, and makes no effort to hide the fact that she doesn't want Cat on the trip at all.

At best, it's an accident he courts (he certainly could've made sure he wasn't holding a knife, for one thing). Faiz insists that killing Phillip is an accident and immediately has a breakdown, and the ghost certainly seems to have been making matters worse on purpose, but pretty much nobody buys it, given the years of pre-existing resentment and jealousy. He's handsome, popular, charming, and rich, and each of his 'friends' hates him for it, the the point where they barely seem to grieve his death.

The Ace: Phillip was voted 'Most Likely To Succeed' seven years in a row in school, according to Cat.

Will the ghosts do them in, or will they be at each other's throats first? The friends themselves may have plenty of skeletons in their closets.

Neurotic Cat, handsome and popular Phillip, the loving couple Talia and Faiz, and the jokester Lin meet up to celebrate Talia and Faiz's wedding in an abandoned Heian-era mansion in a remote area of Japan that has dark secrets buried in its walls.

Five people, friends since their school years, get together in an old mansion for a night of drinking, games, and celebration. Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a 2021 horror novel by Cassandra Khaw.
