It's now about 11:20AM and I've finished the short book I wanted to start, The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco. This book is horror, specifically Japanese-American paranormal and the first book in a series. It tells several stories overlapping stories: a story about an onryuu -- a vengeful ghost who can't move on -- The Girl from the Well. A Japanese-American boy with a terrible secret from his childhood and his American cousin who gets tied up in it.
I am a huge fan of Japanese horror and this ties up nicely all my favorite parts from the movies and games I've played on the subject, weaving the mythology right into the story.
