Why read it?
1 author picked Dark Water as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The author of the Ring trilogy writes nine stories about water—a beach, an island, a fishing boat, an abandoned yacht, an underwater cavern, an apartment building’s sketchy water supply.
What at first feels thematically arbitrary soon works on you creepily, leaving you feeling clammy and scared. These are ghost stories, and I’ve never liked ghost stories because they’re never believable to me.
Suzuki convincingly writes about ghosts of the psyche and the ghosts of the past, so when the real ghosts appear, I believe it. This is one scary book.
