The Ring Book Has a Disgusting Secret (1991 Novel)

Author Koji Suzuki's novel RING sparked a resurgence of horror in Japan and launched a franchise that would shock the world, but what disturbing details from his original story didn't make it to the screen? In episode 354, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they try to make sense of Asakawa and Ryūji's characterization, encounter Sadako Yamamura for the first time, try to resist the urge to watch cursed media (fail), and wonder if they'll be next to fall prey to the viral horror. Join them next week when they watch "The Ring" (2002) and relive iconic millennial horror from their childhood.   ANNOUNCEMENT: Ink to Film is attending WorldCon 2025 in Seattle where they will be interviewing Martha Wells in their first ever live show!
