Goth by Otsuichi is a collection of short stories featuring 2 high school students obsessed with the macabre and strange cases of violence. In each tale the unnamed narrator focuses on a new creepy story of death and murder. Ostuichi's use of the first- and third-person narratives is really interesting and very well done imo.
I learned it was adapted into a manga and film so I definitely want to check those out asap.
Quick warning - there is one story involving animal deaths (Dog) that is incredibly difficult but it still kept me super interested.
