A Japanese author famous for his horror stories, including cult Japanese and eventually Hollywood film The Ring, has bizarrely produced a novel to be printed on rolls of toilet paper by manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.
The Koji Suzuki novel called "Drop" will be printed in short form on millions of rolls of toilet paper in a marketing coup for the Hayashi toilet roll company
Each roll will carry several copies of the new nine-chapter novella "Drop" by Koji Suzuki. Who knows the story may even be made into a cult film.
"Drop," is appropriately set in a public restroom. The Drop toilet paper novella takes up about three feet or 90 centimeters of a toilet roll. Koji Suzuki's "Drop" can be read in just a few minutes, according to manufacturer Hayashi Paper.
Hayashi promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen or US$2.20 a roll, as "a horror experience in the toilet."
Vice President of Hayashi Paper Corp, Takaki Hayashi, said he had read the story and it is scary enough that you could almost crap ones pants.
"I've read the story and it's very scary," he said.
Koji Suzuki's Drop toilet paper story plays on the Japanese superstitions that ghosts and evil spirits inhabit the smallest room in the house. Toilets in Japan are often relegated to the most distant part of the home.
The AP notes that Parents still tell naughty children that a hairy hand will seize them when they have their pants around their ankles if they misbehave and drag them down into the dark water below.
日本靜岡縣富士市的造紙公司「林製紙」2009年將鈴木的短篇小說「Drop」印在捲筒衛生紙上，推出「世界最恐怖的衛生紙」，創下30萬捲以上的銷售量。
該公司將在21日發售這套別出心裁的恐怖衛生紙的英文版，3捲1組售價630日圓，衛生紙的外包裝上就印了骷髏頭，讓人看了不寒而慄。
衛生紙恐怖小說「Drop」故事的舞台就是公廁，鈴木曾經表示，廁所這種狹隘又有水的空間，最能讓讀者展開各種恐怖的想像。
