]]> Koji Suzuki's 'Drop' toilet paper.Koji Suzuki likes to scare people. The famed Japanese author has written bloodcurdling tales like “The Ring,” which have been adapted into films in Japan and Hollywood. Suzuki has a new idea for scaring people, one which involves the time you spend on the toilet.

Suzuki has teamed up with Hayashi Paper Company, which makes novelty paper products for public restroom, to print his novella “Drop” on toilet paper. The story is about a goblin living in a public restroom, making the horror all the more real as you sit on a chilly seat.

The story is nine chapters long, with multiple copies on each roll, so you can pick up where you left off without too much trouble. I’m sure green activists will have something to say about encouraging waste through the product, but I’d still back the product. Who said it can’t be printed on the biodegradable stuff, right?

Each roll costs 210 yen, which is about $2. Think James Patterson will be releasing any toilet paper thrillers any time soon?
