Read: Every River Runs to Salt by Rachael K. Jones

I didn't love Every River Runs to Salt, mostly because I couldn't bring myself to not be weirded out by the concept of anthropomorphic US states. But it does have a lot of things that I like, including women who are also bodies of water, and love between all combinations of "woman" and "body of water". And spooky things. And monsters who aren't evil. And destroying capitalism, sort of. So if you want to read a novella about those things, definitely go for it.
