Yeah, that’s right. A novel in toilet-paper form. I bet that will be a challenging format description for Amazon. But most importantly, said toilet-paper novel is written by the author of The Ring. Apparently making TVs and VCRs objects of unspeakable dread just wasn’t enough for him.

I remember an episode of The X-Files where there was a sewer monster* that accomplished its great escape by stowing away in a port-o-crapper. I was afraid to use those things for years. To this day, if stuck with no feasible alternatives, I check.  Just in case.

With that history in mind, I am hesitant to read a story that will not only turn the toilet into an instrument of my horrifying demise…..but also obligate me to sit on it for the duration.

And no, that will not stop me from going to great lengths to get my hands on a copy. Because after 3 years of law school and 2 weeks of Bar review, I have a well-established tendency towards masochism.

*Rachel, if I linked to the wrong episode, tell me. Because I need to be sure to re-watch it sometime soon and see if it still freaks me out.
