by Edogawa Rampo (1956)
A lucidly-translated collection of short mystery stories , Japanese Tales gives English-language readers a spell-binding peek into the works of Edogawa Rampo, “Japan’s most famous mystery writer”. (I first knew about the name from the Indonesian-licensed manga Detektif Conan by Aoyama Gosho, and Febby then acquaint me further to Rampo’s popularity among Japanese readers.)
