“Book Descriptions: Thirty years before the setting of the American blockbuster adaptation of The Ring, Sadako Yamamura was just a young girl, thrust from society because of her dangerous and fascinating psychic powers. It's hard to imagine, but the girl who would eventually climb out of your television set and kill you with pure fear was once a very pretty and confused girl. This is the story of Sadako, before she was a dead body in the well, the story of a scary power emerging from a nervous girl.
Based on the Japanese film of the same title, Ring 0 - Birthday goes beyond the visual scariness of previous Ring volumes, delving into society's fear of the unknown, showing two sides to the monster that became Sadako.” DRIVE
