Comprising three distinct parts each of which is a tale of adventure, \u003ci\u003eParadise\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that the sinister poet of humidity who made use of wetness to raise chills in \u003ci\u003eDark Water\u003c\/i\u003e is just as much in his element plotting adrenaline-fueled searches across the desert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the arid badlands of prehistoric Asia, a lovelorn youth violates a sacred tribal taboo against representing human figures by etching an image of his beloved. When the foretold punishment comes to pass, the two must embark on a journey across the world, and time itself, to try to reclaim their destiny. A mysterious spirit guides them towards a surprise destination that readers may indeed find quite close to home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished a year before \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eParadise\u003c\/i\u003e was Koji Suzuki’s groundbreaking first novel that launched his career as a fiction writer. Winner of the Japan Fantasy Award, it was immediately made into an animated TV series. Filled with exotic locales, betrayal, action, romance, and ideas, \u003ci\u003eParadise\u003c\/i\u003e should delight fans of David Mitchell’s \u003ci\u003eCloud Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e as well as devotees of the non-horror fare of Stephen King, to whom Suzuki is frequently compared.","brand":"Vertical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214738485503,"sku":"9781932234237","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781932234237_s600x595.jpg?v=1782149775","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781932234237","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
