This collection of mystery and horror stories is regarded as
Japan's answer to Edgar Allan Poe. Japanese Tales of Mystery &
Imagination, the first volume of its kind translated into English,
is written with the quick tempo of the West but rich with the
fantasy of the East. These nine bloodcurdling, chilling tales
present a genre of literature largely unknown to readers outside
Japan, including the strange story of a quadruple amputee and his
perverse wife; the record of a man who creates a mysterious chamber
of mirrors and discovers hidden pleasures within; the morbid
confession of a maniac who envisions a career of foolproof
"psychological" murders; and the bizarre tale of a chair-maker who
buries himself inside an armchair and enjoys the sordid "loves" of
the women who sit on his handiwork. Lucid and packed with suspense,
Edogawa Rampo's stories found in Japanese Tales of Mystery &
Imagination have enthralled Japanese readers for over half a
century. Mystery stories include: The Human Chair The Caterpillar
Two Crippled Men The Traveler with the Pasted Rag Picture
