A review by taylamaree
Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination by Edogawa Rampo

2.0

Just not for me. Took me about 8 months to finish 9 short stories. With the exception of the first tale, The Human Chair (which was excellent), most of the stories didn’t have much to grip me. Very straightforward, and a bit slow.

Maybe it was difficult to capture the aura through translation, or maybe it wasn’t my type of story?? I’m not sure.

I do appreciate that the stories were all super cohesive in their overall feel. They were well-written.
