Taste of Marrow
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Open EPUB eBook)
Campbell finalist Sarah Gailey's hippo mayhem continues in Taste of Marrow, the sequel to rollicking adventure River of Teeth.
A few months ago, Winslow Houndstooth put together the damnedest crew of outlaws, assassins, cons, and saboteurs on either side of the Harriet for a history-changing caper. Together they conspired to blow the dam that choked the Mississippi and funnel the hordes of feral hippos contained within downriver, to finally give America back its greatest waterway.
Songs are sung of their exploits, many with a haunting refrain: "And not a soul escaped alive."
In the aftermath of the Harriet catastrophe, that crew has scattered to the winds. Some hunt the missing lovers they refuse to believe have died. Others band together to protect a precious infant and a peaceful future. All of them struggle with who they've become after a long life of theft, murder, deception, and general disinterest in the strictures of the law.

Gailey’s delightful second novella of mishaps and mayhem in an alternate 19th-century American South picks up a few weeks after the events of Rivers of Teeth, and relies heavily on the reader’s familiarity with the earlier volume. The outlaws who demolished the Harriet Dam and released feral hippos into the wilds of the Mississippi delta have been divided. Leader Winslow Houndstooth and con artist Regina Archambault have been frantically searching Louisiana for their compatriots; killers Adelia Reyes and Hero, believing that they are the only survivors, have been trying to stay one step ahead of U.S. Marshal Gran Carter and his warrant for Adelia’s arrest. When Adelia’s infant is kidnapped by the team’s erstwhile employer, the two groups converge on Baton Rouge, bringing the unfinished threads of their job together at last. This sequel both revisits and completes the story of the first book, providing a reinterpretation without invalidating the original experience. While there are no new revelations about our heroes, Gailey deepens the existing characterizations and relationships that were a highlight of her previous work. Agent: DongWon Song, Howard Morhaim Literary.
