Stunning Japanese thriller with a chilling supernatural twist. The
novel that inspired the cult Japanese movie and the Hollywood
blockbuster of the same name. Asakawa is a hardworking journalist
who has climbed his way up from local-news beat reporter to writer
for his newspaper's weekly magazine. A chronic workaholic, he
doesn't take much notice when his seventeen-year-old niece dies
suddenly - until a chance conversation reveals that another healthy
teenager died at exactly the same time, in chillingly similar
circumstances. Sensing a story, Asakawa begins to investigate, and
soon discovers that this strange simultaneous sudden-death syndrome
also affected another two teenagers. Exactly one week before their
mysterious deaths the four teenagers all spent the night at a
leisure resort in the same log cabin. When Asakawa visits the
resort, the mystery only deepens. A comment made in the guest book
by one of the teenagers leads him to a particular vidoetape with a
portentous message at the end: Those who have viewed these images
are fated to die at this exact hour one week from now. Asakawa
finds himself in a race against time - he has only seven days to
find the cause of the teenagers' deaths before it finds him. The
hunt puts him on the trail of an apocalytpic power that will force
Asakawa to choose between saving his family and saving
civilization.
