Not technically film news here - though given the history his books have of being adapted to film, it's just a matter of time - but news of Koji Suzuki's latest work is just too bizarre to pass up. Suzuki, of course, is the author of The Ring and Dark Water, books that proved hugely influential on the world of horror after both were adapted into hugely successful films by Hideo Nakata. His latest? Drop, the "alarming story of an evil spirit that inhabits a toilet bowl" - try not to think about that description in context of the title - recently published in Japan by Hayashi Paper. And Hayashi Paper? They specialize in one specific type of paper. Toilet paper. Yes, the latest Suzuki story has been published on rolls of toilet paper, perfect for a bit of private-time reading.
yea, but ....
I don't think I'll be asking "Can I read that when you've finished with it" then!
must be crap :-)
Object-Oriented Writing!
I love the idea, and you know what to do with the book if you REALLY dislike it...
;-)
But wouldn't it suck to be on a really good part and then somebody else uses the facilities and uses the whole next chapter?
Would be a cool curio to have though.
So in other words, Suzuki's gone Hollywood.
