World English rights to Cale Plett’s YA novel THE SAW MOUTH have been acquired by Alison Romig at Delacorte Press in pre-empt, scheduled for publication the summer of 2026. A queer horror set in an atmospheric small town, in a not-quite-dystopian world one shade off from our own, THE SAW MOUTH follows Cedar as they arrive in Sawblade Lake a near stranger, with something sinister on their heels. A long, bent shadow that can open doors with its very presence but can’t have the one thing it wants unless Cedar lets it.
