Goth | Otsuichi

First post! I haven't even gotten halfway and already Goth by Otsuichi is one of my new favs for horror. A must read if you like stories with a lot of twists and turns!

hannah-leeloo Thank you for the follow sweet. @LitsyWelcomeWagon happy reading 📚 ❤📖 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Nice read! Welcome to Litsy and thanks for the follow 🎉💃 Are you a Chuck Palahniuk reader at all? 2y

AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Name sounds familiar but I don't believe I've read anything by him. What kind of books does he write? 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL He'a most well known as the author of #Fightclub. But! If I may intrude, as a horror fan, give Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk a read. He.... he's very good at playing in moral grey area. Choke and Invisible Monsters by the same author have their own style of villainizing the normal in all of us. Haunted is a mess though, not for the light of heart! 2y

AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Wow I'm gonna have to put that down in my very very VERY long list of books to read! Thanks for the suggestion! 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL I don't know what genre Palahniuk fits in, is what I'm getting at here 😂 Haunted is a novella of... uh, short-stories. It's the only book I've ever had to put down to psychologically cope between chapters. 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward And I'm a slow typer. Lol! What are your horror top 3 must reads @AXOLOTL ? 2y

AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Very interesting...I'm a big fan of books and authors that go that extra mile to make the reader feel physically uncomfortable. To me it makes the story feel more real. 2y

AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Top three I must go with my post Goth by Otsuichi, a classic IT by Stephen King, and finally Rings by Koji Suzuki. I love horror from other cultures as well as the genre Splatterpunk horror, these books were made to make you feel sick to your stomach as you're reading and I live for it. 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL oh, you and Palahniuk will make fast friends. I‘ll look forward to seeing more of your reads! Thanks for the picks list, always glad to chat horror with folks who like their books to cost shreds of sanity. 🙃 Welcome, welcome, once again!! 2y

AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward 🤣 Thank you so much! I look forward to interacting with you and everyone else! 2y

I really enjoyed this one. It‘s dark, disturbing and creepy. A twisted tale about two teenagers who are completely obsessed with death.

“Goth” is a collection of short mystery stories that focuses on two teenagers and their town that seems to attract killers. The stories are incredibly well written; however, they are very difficult to read (it‘s not a spoiler to say there are graphic deaths of children and animals). To temper the darkness of this book, here‘s a picture of my reading buddy! She loves having me home all day 😸

My goal is to read as many books as I can while I‘m off work. First up: “Goth” by Otsuichi. I‘m in the mood for something creepy.

+I never expect that I'm gonna end up liking this book. I also read the manga version. It was sooo good. Enthralling. Horribly beautiful.

+Highly recommended! I suggest you read first the book then the manga.

What an intense read! This is actually a group of short stories all involving a couple of high school teenagers who have a deep fascination with murder and death. Each story had an insane twist I truly didn't see coming. Some of these stories are very disturbing so this might not be the book for everyone but I absolutely loved it and will definitely be checking out more by this author. Extremely well written and captivating!

A subtle and disturbing collection of connected short stories that both horrify and entertain. Although there really isn't a "protagonist" present in the story, every character, even the most deplorable, give insight to their worries and why they do what they do, making them sometimes disturbingly relatable. A physically easy, but emotionally challenging read. Highly recommended!

I'm loving the psychological twists and dark alleys of these characters! There are so many ways this book could end, I love the suspense. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

so-so

This review is actually for an ARC of Otsuichi's book, Black Fairy Tale (couldn't find it in the app). I liked it a lot but felt the the ending was a little too tidily wrapped up. I wanted something that integrated Nami's experiences more. Creep factor high:)
