While The Lord of the Rings grossed millions at the box office and attracted legions of fans, few realized that the film was actually based on a series of novels. The first novel “The Ring” was published in 1991. The paperback version of S is now available for pre-order, with an expected release date of October 29th.

The new edition S features an updated cover design, but it tells the same unforgettable story as the original. The story takes place thirty years after the film was released and tells the story of image processing expert Takanori Ando. His boss hands him a USB drive for analysis, and he discovers a highly disturbing video on the drive that cannot possibly be faked. However, every time he watches the film, it changes, leading him down a rabbit hole and discovering the film’s true purpose.
If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings, S is an easy recommendation – though any horror fan will likely find this novel a nice addition to their bookcase. Amazon offers a pre-order price guarantee when pre-ordering a copy of the S, so if there are any discounts between now and launch, you’re entitled to the lowest price.
Many other books in the Ring series are now available, including the original Ring and its sequel, The Spiral and the Loop. The fourth book, “Birthday,” is also available on Amazon for $14. Most fans recommend reading the novels in order, so consider reading the first four novels (each under 300 pages) before S arrives in time for Halloween.
