![]() ![]() You may recall in the 1980’s or so there was much talk by pseudoscientific charlatans (the best known was Japanese) who claimed to be able to project mental images onto camera film. This book was published in Japan in 1991. ![]() (I’m not giving away plot because we are told this in the blurb). The recording was generated telekinetically. They turn into a Batman/Robin duo traveling around Japan trying to figure out who made this recording and why. He enlists a friend to help him solve the mystery. He goes to the resort and watches the video and discovers that it warns the viewer that those who watch it will die within a period of 10 days unless – but the “unless” part has been taped over! The journalist now fears for his life and later, for the lives of his wife and child, who accidentally watched the video as well. He becomes a detective, tracing events back and connecting the dots to find that all four had spent a weekend in a rural resort where they watched a video. They were of college age and all perfectly healthy. The basic story is that a journalist discovers that four young people - two girls, two boys - died separately and suddenly within a day for no good reason. He is a bit like Stephen King in his blend of fantasy, horror and mystery. Many of his books, including this one, have been turned into movies and even video games. ![]() The blurbs tell us the author has been called the Stephen King of Japan, where he is famous. ![]()
