My Pick

 
The Girl From the Well by Rin Chupeco
Expected Publication Date: August 5, 2014 by Sourcebooks Fire
 
 
 


You may think me biased, being murdered myself. But my state of being has nothing to do with the curiosity toward my own species, if we can be called such. We do not go gentle, as your poet encourages, into that good night.

A dead girl walks the streets.

She hunts murderers. Child killers, much like the man who threw her body down a well three hundred years ago.

And when a strange boy bearing stranger tattoos moves into the neighborhood so, she discovers, does something else. And soon both will be drawn into the world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from American suburbia to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan.

Because the boy has a terrifying secret - one that would just kill to get out.

The Girl from the Well is A YA Horror novel pitched as "Dexter" meets "The Grudge", based on a well-loved Japanese ghost story.

Creepy! I don't do much horror or thrillers but this looks great. Thank you for sharing!

WOW
Creeeeepy! Can't wait to read it, things like The Grudge and The Ring and Bloody Mary scare the crap out of me, haha. Give me gored and blood and serial killers, sure. Give me something psychological and noooooooooo.
