Goth: A Novel of Horror is written by Otsuichi. Itsuki Kamiyama and high school classmate Yoru Morino are obsessed with murder. They collect photos of gory crime scenes, but it goes a bit beyond that. Morino dresses in the same clothes worn by murder victims, and Kamiyama visits crime scenes to stand in the spots where the murder might have occurred. Apparently the area of Japan they live in is populated exclusively by serial killers, all of whom are attracted to Morino. Their neighbors include the science teacher who cuts off people's hands; the serial killer who keeps a self-incriminating diary; and the guy who buries people alive.
