Hiroshi Takahashi Book order (chronological)

One night in Tokyo, four healthy teenagers die one after another of heart failure. A journalist, the uncle of one of the victims and intrigued by the coincidence, investigates and learns of a videotape that the four watched together a week before dying. Amid a series of bizarre and frightening images is a warning that the viewer will die in exactly one week unless a certain act is performed. The description of the act, of course, has been erased from the videotape, and the journalist's work to solve the mystery assumes a deadly urgency. Ring is not only a chillingly told horror story but also a shrewdly intelligent and subversive commentary on the power of imagery and contagious consumerism. Ring spawned one of Japan's highest-grossing films ever as well as the blockbuster DreamWorks remake starring Naomi Watts. The Japanese version of the novel has sold almost 3 million copies. In addition to being dubbed "the Stephen King of Japan," Koji Suzuki is a respected authority on child rearing. He likes to roam Japan in his RV and has written about fulfilling his lifelong dream of riding his motorcycle across the United States, from Los Angeles to Key West. Suzuki is based in Tokyo.

Everyone knows about urban legends, those stories that seem implausible, like they could never really happen. But what if one of the creepy, seemingly impossible stories was actually to occur? Somewhere in Japan there's a cabin in which you might watch a program that will change your life... in fact, it will take your life. She will take your life. She calls out from the afterlife, from the dark bottom of a forgotten well. And if she calls you, one week is all you have left to find the answer to her curse.The Ring has become a worldwide media sensation, having been adapted from its original novel series in Japan into movies, television, and manga. If you've seen the films, you know of the creepy horror of The Ring. Lovingly adapted by the author and screenplay writer of the Japanese film series, The Ring manga takes you deeper into this mythos of creepy death.
