''Goth'' is a 2003 [[Horror Literature|horror]] / [[Mystery Literature|mystery]] novel by Japanese writer [[Otsuichi]] that successfully blends [[Psychological Horror]], [[Detective Literature]], [[Slasher Movie]], and [[Gorn]]. A [[Shounen]] (yes, really) [[Manga]] adapted from the novel by illustrator Kendi Oiwa was published in 2004 by Kadokawa Comics. In 2008 a [[The Film of the Book|live-action film adaptation]] was released, taking its direction from both the manga and the novel. The manga and novel are available in English from [[Tokyo Pop]], and the movie has been released on DVD with English subtitles by Jolly Roger/Well Go USA.

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The novel is told through episodic stories not always directly related to one another--unsurprising, since it was originally serialized and then published in two separate collections before being combined in one book. The manga streamlines the narrative by removing plots without Kamiyama narrating and combining similar storylines, focusing more on Kamiyama and Morino's ambiguous relationship and giving greater weight to Morino as a character.

* [[Amateur Sleuth]]: Kamiyama has a keen eye for crime.
