Cinnamon to Taste by Christi Nogle
Horror Cinnamon Babka Family Rivalries A Dark Emptiness
“Fresh out of the oven, almost the entirety of the babka has a soft texture, with the crispy exception of the topping pecans. It will burn the mouth of anyone who eats it fresh from the oven, though they’ll want to eat it anyway.”
Marnie is a baker, accustomed to a kaleidoscope of flavors and textures. But when her world suddenly turns dim and alien and even her famous babka loses its flavor, will she find her way back?
Christi Nogle teaches college composition in Boise, Idaho, and her work has appeared in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and more.
