A haunting collection of short stories from Koji Suzuki, author of the smash thriller, Ring, which spawned the hit film and sequels. The first story in this collection has been adapted to film (Dark Water, Walter Salles), and another, "Adrift" is currently in production with Dimension Films.
My two-bits:
A good dose of horror with a water theme. Most of these had subtle and not-so-subtle ghosts creeping about and creating havoc.
