Plot

The story follows on from the first Ring novel with the reasons for Sadako creating the cursed videotape becoming more clear. The idea is that if the tape is watched by a woman who is ovulating, she can impregnate herself in such a woman and therefore live again. The woman turns out to be Mai Takano. It also contains a plot about a former classmate of Ryuji Takayama from medical school performing his autopsy. In so doing, he discovers Ryuji kept a record of the events that lead to his death. The doctor is unsure of what to do because the record clearly states a danger to the public but it also includes supernatural events, so going public could ruin his reputation. A blank videotape such as this was the carrier for the Ring Virus curse. ... cover of the British print by Harper Collins Ring is a horror novel by Koji Suzuki set in modern day Japan. ... cover of the British print by Harper Collins Ring is a horror novel by Koji Suzuki set in modern day Japan. ...
