But the spirit that haunts it does not have a name or a body, only a shape: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It possessed the father of teenage Kirie's withdrawn boyfriend Shuichi, compelling him to end his life by remaking himself in its image. It grows in ferns, in seashells, in curls of hair, and in the twisting folds of the human brain. As events unfold, giant snails are sighted near the high school, an eerie glow shines from the abandoned lighthouse, mosquitoes seeking blood fly in drowsy circles, and babies seek to return to the womb. People become obsessed with swirl shapes and kill themselves in gruesome ways. The very smoke from the crematorium hangs in an ominous spiral over the town, reminding everyone that even in death there is no escape from the insane swirls! As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of KuroÌzu-cho are pulled ever deeper into a whirlpool from which there is no return! -- Publisher description. 521 $a Rated T+ for Older Teen; recommended for ages 16 and up; contains violence and disturbing images. 546 $a Translated from the Japanese. 505 0 $a [v.1] : -- The spiral obsession, part 1 -- The spiral obsession, part 2 -- The scar -- The firing effect -- Twisted souls -- Medusa -- [v.2] : -- -- [v.3] -- The house -- Butterflies -- Chaos -- Erosion -- Escape -- The labyrinth -- Completion -- Galaxies. 650 0 $a Spirals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Insanity (Law) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homicide $z Japan $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Good and evil $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Blessing and cursing $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Haunted places $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hypnotism $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Japan $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Horror comics. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Oniki, Yuji, $e adaptor. $e adaptor. 700 1 $a Daigle-Leach, Susan, $d 1960- $e illustrator. $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BACE4F2C87711EDB34712E023ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
