27 Jun / Ring by Koji Suzuki, translated by Robert B. Rohmer and Glynne Walley [in AsianWeek]
Here’s the book that inspired both the Japanese cult film, Ringu, and the recent American remake, The Ring. With its bright pink and white cover, it’s a major eye-catcher. Start reading and it’s so creepy, your hair will literally stand on end, but you still won’t be able to put it down. Not having seen either film (why have someone else create your nightmares?), the book was plenty to turn a few hairs grey.
