Roll Out the Toilet Monsters

Throughout Japanese history, the toilet was thought of as a scary thing. It was usually in the smallest, most distant, darkest part of the house. And there were even folk tales of the evil creatures that lived down in the hole where the poop did go. What dwelled beneath these dark waters? Toilet monsters!

As a tribute to this belief, author Koji Suzuki (he wrote The Ring) has written a scary story called “Drop” that’s printed on toilet paper rolls! The setting of “Drop”? A public restroom, of course! See, there’s this evil spirit that lives in a toilet… seriously!

I wonder, would you go to a bookstore to buy this story? Well, wherever you get it, be sure to read BEFORE you wipe!
