I'm about going to have to find some Rozen Maiden just to see her. I almost posted this once before, but it fits better here: I just finished a book, "The Thirteenth Tale," by Diane Setterfield, and it reminded me so much of Clock Tower. Margaret, an obscure biographer, gets a letter out of the blue from the most famous novelist in England: Vida Winter is sick of hiding the truth, and wants Margaret to hear it. The story Margaret hears is one of a family descending slowly into madness, secluded in a mansion away from the world. There are questionably-ethical psychological experiments, supernatural underpinnings, constant questioning of reality, and of course, twins, one of whom happens to be a shears-wielding murderer.* Oh, yeah, and there's a governess named Barrows. XD Heck, I'd recommend it just because it's good. But Clock Tower fans'll definitely appreciate the similarities. I must confess that she never actually kills anyone with* the shears, just rips up the garden with them. In fact, the major difference from CT is that "The Thirteenth Tale" is not very bloody at all; it's a different but equally effective kind of scary in which the grotesque parts are not ommitted, but told in such a bare-bones, reporterly manner your brain can't help but fill in the grisly details.
