Japanese horror novel printed on toilet roll

A Japanese author is having his latest novel printed entirely on rolls of toilet paper.

The book is the latest work from Koji Suzuki - the writer behind 'The Ring' - and tells the story of a ghost which hides in a public toilet.

At just nine short chapters the author says 'The Drop' can be read in a few minutes and is printed several times on each roll of toilet paper, each copy taking up just 90 cm.

Printers Hayashi Paper say the unusual print run was not a comment on the quality of the book but the ideal way of producing a "horror experience in the toilet" ... I've had a few of those.

Hopefully this scary loo roll book won't have you on the edge of your seat, otherwise it could get a bit messy.
