From the unique imagination of the author
of the Ring trilogy,
comes an unconventional love story outside the horror genre. Comprising
three distinct parts, of which each is a tale of adventure, Paradise
demonstrates Koji Suzuki is just as much in his element plotting
adrenalin-fueled searches across the desert.
In the arid badlands of prehistoric
Asia, a lovelorn youth violates a sacred tribal taboo by etching
an image of his beloved. When the foretold punishment comes to
pass, the two must embark on a journey across the world, and time
itself, to try to reclaim their destiny. A mysterious spirit guides
them towards a surprise destination that readers may indeed find
quite close to home.

“This
first novel by Koji Suzuki, who went on to reinvent contemporary
horror in the classic RING trilogy,
gleams with imaginative power. A love story refracted through
time, PARADISE pretty much made time disappear while I read it
– one whole Saturday flew past. What a pleasure, and what
a wonderful writer.” –Peter Straub
