![]() Determined to find enough evidence to support his story, Asakawa begins to research the deaths of that night, and in doing so, finds the unusual video tape that seems to tie them all together. ![]() Intrigued, Asakawa wants to cover this story, but due to a flubbed piece on the paranormal in the past, his editor is hesitant to support him. While taking a cab home one day, he learns of a nearly identical death that the driver witnessed, at the exact same time. The novel follows Asakawa, a reporter whose niece has recently died in an unusual and unexpected way. Needless to say, when I picked up Koji Suzuki’s novel, the one that inspired it all, I expected to be blown away. On top of that, the Ring series has been one of my favorite horror franchises ever since the American remake first pulled me into that world. It is the original source material, after all, and sometimes due to the restrictions of the movie format for storytelling, some of the potency of the story is diluted in the process. When it comes to book-to-movie adaptations, I have a tendency to be a little snobby in favor of the book. Originally published in 1991 English edition published in 2003 by Vertical, Inc. ![]()
