Although it would be best for children under 16 to stay away from this book or thought that don’t have the stomach for such things. There is also a good amount of horror and gore drawn very well, to give you a good chill up the spine. And the characters’ design gives the theme and dark visual catch of all that is described in the story, and there isn‘t too much happening on one page, that could distract or confused you from the story. The theme for the book is very dark, including, suicide, murder, gore, and guilt. Throughout the story you watch as Boku and Morino travel around with their “good luck” of picking up important evidence of many unsolved murders, as they try to find the culprits of all the murders they find “interesting.” The female lead, Morino is constantly taken as a hostage leaving Boku to go and “see how she dies.” But luckily, it always ends with Boku saving Morino in the end. Both in high school and both are literally and gruesomely obsessed with death. “Goth,” is actually a book of short stories following the lives of its narrator known as Boku or “I” in the masculine terms of Japanese, and his strange acquaintance Yoru Morino. This is a warning: those who are extremely interesting in the cruel and mystifying world of horror and gore must read ahead, for they will find a review for a book so amazingly horrifying you will want to reread it over and over again.

But deciding what content to post next can be a struggle. Social media can be a useful part of an author’s platform, helping them connect with readers, fellow writers, and the publishing community. My first six novels had sold around five thousand copies between them, which was far more than I ever thought I would sell. I had been writing and self-publishing for three years. But I was happy with my career up to that point. Howey: My writing career took off with the publication of a short story, Wool. TC: So the story for you is that things were quiet for you for a long time with your writing and suddenly things ballooned? What happened? Where are you now in terms of sales? It’s been optioned by Ridley Scott and recently appeared in hardcover under the Random House imprint in the U.K.Īs part of the the Mytro Project on self-publishing for the entrepreneur, I thought I’d ask him a few questions about his books, his writing, and the business of doing it yourself. His book, the Wool Omnibus, started as a novella on the Amazon Kindle Store and suddenly blossomed into a massive, multi-volume opus that is a #1 Bestseller on Amazon and the winner of Kindle Book Review’s Best Indie Book of 2012 Award.

Kano Murasaki, called Risuko (Squirrel) is a young, fatherless girl, more comfortable climbing trees than down on the ground. Magical but historical, Risuko follows her along the first dangerous steps to discovering who she truly is. She is torn from her home and what is left of her family, but finds new friends at a school that may not be what it seems. Growing up far from the battlefields and court intrigues, the fatherless girl finds herself pulled into a plot that may reunite Japan - or may destroy it. Though Japan has been devastated by a century of civil war, Risuko just wants to climb trees. My name is Kano Murasaki, but everyone calls me Squirrel. That I can be a very special kind of woman. My nation has been at war for a hundred years, Serenity is under attack, my family is in disgrace, but some people think that I can bring victory. I am from Serenity Province, though I was not born there. My name is Kano Murasaki, but most people call me Risuko. The boy was a vampire, which is so bizarre that I'd be dreaming about vampires, and he was trying to explain to her how much he cared about her and yet at the same time how much he wanted to kill her," Stephenie says. "It was two people in kind of a little circular meadow with really bright sunlight, and one of them was a beautiful, sparkly boy and one was just a girl who was human and normal, and they were having this conversation. Once a stay-at-home mom, Stephenie says the idea for "Twilight" came to her in a dream. The story, a love triangle between a vampire, a human and a werewolf, has ignited an international frenzy, and the woman behind it all is 35-year-old author Stephenie Meyer.
