Edge (paperback)



Koji Suzuki is an internationally recognized and lauded horror writer, often described as the Stephen King of Japan. And like King, Suzuki's works have been adapted to both television and film around the world almost as soon as the ink dries on each new manuscript. Both Ring and Dark Water received the Hollywood treatment--the former's success eliciting a sequel--and Dream Cruise--another short story from Dark Water--was adapted as one of the episodes of Showtime's Masters of Horror series in 2007.

WINNER OF THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD

Now in paperback! The author of the Ring trilogy that spawned blockbuster movies on bothsides of the Pacific presents a new level of terror with an apocalyptic work that casts the veryearth and skies into doubt.

When a team of American scientists tests new computer hardware by calculating the value of piinto the deep decimals, the figures begin to repeat a pattern where there ought to be none. It’smathematically untenable—unless the physical constants that undergird our universe havealtered, ever so slightly…

A cascade of missing persons reports, far from being supernatural, threatens to be perfectlynatural—a profound disturbance in being itself—and explodes into a mind trip of a crescendo inthis tale of quantum horror.
