Hey all. Sorry for the lack of updates here, but we've been on vacation. Everyone here at the High Castle had a week off. Now that we're back, I can show off the present I received from my boss in Japan!

Jeeeeeeeeeeeaaaalooooous?



Yeah, you're jealous. Behold, my very own copy of Drop, the Koji Suzuki novella printed on toilet tissue. Like all things Japanese, it comes with instructions:


It's like I always say, "Overhand forever! Underhand never!"

Drop isn't just a random story on tp; it takes place in a public toilet. So the reading experience--the novella takes up up three feet of the length of the roll and is multiply repeated--is sort of like, oh I dunno, watching Titanic while on a cruise or something.

And of course, the cover has all the usual stuff one would expect from a book such as an author pic and a small ad for the next title.


Looks like Mr. Suzuki's next book is something called Edge. It's unclear to me whether it will be released in hardcover, as a bunkobon paperback, or as toilet paper.

So, what did you all do on your summer vacations?
