River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey

A Finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award for Best Novella

Sarah Gailey's wildfire debut River of Teeth is a rollicking alternate history adventure that Charlie Jane Anders calls preposterously fun.

In the early 20th Century, the United States government concocted a plan to import hippopotamuses into the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This is true.

Other true things about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and their jaws can snap a man in two.

This was a terrible plan.

Contained within this volume is an 1890s America that might have been: a bayou overrun by feral hippos and mercenary hippo wranglers from around the globe. It is the story of Winslow Houndstooth and his crew. It is the story of their fortunes. It is the story of his revenge.

Sarah Gailey, a Hugo and Campbell Award finalist, burst onto the scene in 2015 and has since established herself as one of the sharpest and funniest voices in pop culture online. She contributes regularly to a number of websites, including Tor.com, and her fiction has been published all around the world. She is a resident of Oakland, California.
