Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination by Edogawa Rampo

5.0

Absolutely brilliant. It's amazing to see how much of an influence Rampo has had on modern Japanese fiction. Death Note and Suehiro Maruo in particular seem heavily inspired by these stories. They are beautifully crafted and manage to be surreal, mysterious and packed to the brim with striking images without really venturing into the supernatural at all.
