It's been a while since I've picked up a book that I couldn't put down until I finished. It pays homage to many Japanese horror tropes while having it's own identity simultaneously.

One of the most achingly ‘90s pieces of media I have ever consumed. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who is familiar with the existence of the film, whether or not they have seen it. I would recommend this book to someone who likes unsolvable mysteries and watching bad things happen to bad people.
