GOTH

Morino is the strangest girl in school—how could she not be, given her obsession with brutal murders? And there are plenty of murders to grow obsessed with, as the town in which she lives is a magnet for serial killers. She and her schoolmate will go to any length to investigate the murders, even putting their own bodies on the line. And they don’t want to stop the killers—Morino and her friend simply want to understand them. This new edition contains the bonus novelette "Morino's Souvenir Photo."

i’m not really that into short story collections but this is an exception. amazinggg horror and thriller content!! for almost every single short story there was a plot twist that i was not expecting. the writing was also amazing in the way it was so “secretive” and ominous. i REALLY really liked this

4.5/5 - this novel was a close 5 stars for me. i found the atmosphere to be beautifully crafted: macabre, ominous, desolate. the prose was wonderful. the characters had a certain enchantment about them - a girl surrounded by death, perhaps unknowingly, and her companion who is never named. it was a great exploration on the closeness of death, the differences between life and death, grief, and all the in between. i thoroughly enjoyed this and took my time digesting it in small pieces as i went.

Before they were friends, he had already noticed her. He wanted her hands - those beautiful, enchanting hands - to himself. And he hoped that the local madman who had been "collecting" the hands of anything that moved - babies, children, men, women, animals - would get them for him...until the day she asked him to teach her how to smile. -- VIZ Media
