Book Reviews of Dark Water
Book Review: Scared of the water
Summary: 4 Stars
The Harper Collins edition of Dark Water contains seven stories, excluding the prologue and epilogue. The stories are quite short, and often much of the story is spent steadily building tension. This works really well, as I found that I had a sense of unease building, when things started to go wrong. If you are expecting a mirror of the film, Dark Water, then you will probably be disappointed. The story, Floating Water is a much more subtle, shorter version of the film. You can definitely see elements of The Ring in some of these stories, not least the author's preoccupation with water.
I for one would like to see more of Suzuki's work published in English, as well as other Japanese horror.
The stories, Adrift and Forest Under the Sea really stand out for me; both involve the main protagonist being trapped on their own; at sea, and in a cave. I definitely regret reading those late at night!
