A review by drifter_reads
Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edogawa Rampo

4.0

From the writing it's very clear that the short stories are a homage to Rampo's inspiration, Edgar Allan Poe. If you are already familiar with Poe's writings, you will find a striking resemblance in the diction. All the stories center around the themes of ir/rational fear and the deepest human emotions akin to Poe's staple framework. Even being highly inspirational, the stories in this volume retain a stark originality and taste of Edogawa Rampo's writing.
