Ring Sequel Revival: The Highly Anticipated Return of The Lord of the Rings
The Ring may be a box office smash, but few fans know it’s actually based on a series of novels. The first book, Ring, dropped in 1991 and spawned five sequels, one of which has finally been revived after being out of print for years. And now, fans can get their hands on a brand new paperback version of S, complete with a fresh cover design, available for preorder with a release date set for October 29.
$15
This new edition of S features an updated cover design, yet it tells the same haunting tale as the original. Set three decades after the film, it follows image processing specialist Takanori Ando. His boss hands him a USB drive to analyze–and what he finds on the drive is a highly disturbing video that couldn’t have been faked. However, every time he views the footage it changes, leading him down a rabbit hole to discover the video’s true purpose.
If you’re a fan of The Ring, S is an easy recommendation – though any horror fan will likely find the novel to be a nice addition to their bookcase. Amazon offers a preorder price guarantee, so if any discounts are made between now and its release, you’ll get the lowest price. And if you’re not sure where to start, the original Ring and its sequels Spiral and Loop are all available on Amazon for under $15 a pop. The fourth book, Birthday, is a great place to start (just be warned: these novels are quick reads – each one is under 300 pages!).
Want to complete your Ring collection? Amazon has a sweet deal on The Ring Collection (4K UHD), featuring 4K versions of the first three movies, plus a ton of bonus features and deleted scenes. Or, if you don’t mind missing out on the steelbook edition, you can preorder the regular The Ring 4K UHD for $25. And if you act fast, you might just snag the gorgeous 4K UHD steelbook edition for a song!
