Drop – Koji Suzuki Japanese horror novel on a tissue paper
Koji Suzuki, the master of japanese horror genre outdone himself with his latest literary masterpiece printed on a *drumroll* tissue paper. I have this nasty habit of reading horror books while sitting comfortably on the toilet. Just leave it to Koji Suzuki for coming up with a genius idea of incorporating a reading material and toilet paper. I can picture myself scared to sh!t and then nonchalantly wipe my ass with it afterwards.
Koji Suzuki by the way is well known for his literary horror masterpiece novel “The Ring”. You can say that he’s the Japan’s Stephen King.
TOKYO – In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new literary experience — a horror story printed on toilet paper.
Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story “Ring,” which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood.
“Drop,” set in a public restroom, takes up about three feet (90 centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes, according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.
The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen ($2.20) a roll, as “a horror experience in the toilet.”
Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark corner of the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark pool below.
