New Novel By the Author of “The Ring” Written On Toilet Paper

If The Ring scared the shit out of you, then you're in luck. The author of the Japanese novels that inspired the films, Koji Suzuki, has released his latest scarefest novella on toilet paper. Writes io9 pal Lisa Katayama over at Tokyomango:

The story . . . is aptly called Drop, and costs just $2 a roll. Hey, that's cheaper than buying a paperback! In Japan (and in Harry Potter), we believe that ghosts hide in toilets. So this is super scary, especially because the guy who wrote the Ring is like the country's horror master.

Now you can read the novel in a format that will allow you to lose your shit at any moment. OK, that's enough of the poop jokes.
