Description



About the Book



"When a team of American scientists tests new computer hardware by calculating the value of pi into the deep decimals, the figures begin to repeat a pattern where there ought to be none. It's mathematically untenable - unless the physical constants that undergird our universe have altered, ever so slightly... A cascade of missing persons reports, far from being supernatural, threatens to be perfectly natural - a profound disturbance in being itself - and explodes into a mind trip of a crescendo in this tale of quantum horror" -- Page 4 of cover.

About the Author



Koji Suzuki is a household name in horror in Japan, much like Stephen King or Clive Barker, but his debut was in Sci-Fi. In 1990, his first full-length work, Paradise, won the Japan Fantasy Novel Award and launched his career.

When Suzuki's Ringu (Ring) originally appeared in Japanese in 1991, it went more or less unnoticed by the larger public. The horror genre was still marginal in Japan. It was actually the publication of Ringu's sequel, Rasen (Spiral), which earned Suzuki the Yoshikawa Eiji Young Writer Award, and greater fame. Both books were adapted to screen, and in a marketing coup, released as separate features on the same day.
