Goth is a collection of dark and twisted short horror stories that revolve around two high school students with a fascination for death and violent crime. The stories are interconnected, each revealing dark secrets about the main characters while exploring the actions of humans rather than supernatural elements. The main characters, reminiscent of teenaged sociopaths, investigate crimes out of sheer curiosity, delving into the minds of serial killers and exploring the darker side of humanity.
The book is told in a grim and disquieting manner, with a focus on psychological aspects and deviant behaviors. Each story is standalone but involves the main character narrator and his friend Morino, who attract serial killers due to their shared interests. The writing style is compelling, with first-person perspectives that change regularly, keeping the reader engaged and occasionally misled until the very end. Despite the disturbing content, the book is recommended for fans of horror, J-horror, and serial killer tales.

From The Publisher:
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.

Un conjunto de historias cortas asi que las hay mejores y peores. La historia del perro era magnifica. En cambio la primera historia, la del asesino en serie era muy floja.
Le doy cuatro estrellas por la historia del perro.
La segunda parte de la colleccion de historias the Otsuichi.
Mientras que en la primera parte las historias siempre tenian un golpe final interesante. En esta segunda parte las historias eran mas normales y menos sorprendentes. Creo que quiza lo unico en lo que han ganado es en crueldad. Las historias son mas crueles de lo que solian ser en la primera parte.
Tambien me da la sensacion de que el autor esta rellenando paginas solo por rellenar, las historias realmente no avanzan demasiado.
One of the darkest book I have ever read. This book explores the world of two characters who are fascinated by the world of murderers and understand what makes them different. Each story becomes more and more dark, so advised to read them in small doses.
