Summary

The famous mystery writer Edogawa Rampo took his pen name from the Japanese pronunciation of Edgar Allen Poe--the master of Western mystery and horror stories. Collected in this chilling volume are some of Rampos best stories, bizarre and blood-curdling expeditions into the fantastic, the perverse, and the strange. A quadruple amputee and his perverse wife; a man who discovers hidden pleasures in a chamber of mirrors; a chair-maker who buries himself inside an armchair and enjoys a promiscuous career of sordid loves with women who sit on his handiwork: these are some of the wonderfully strange characters youll meet in the pages of Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination, each worthy of Poe himself.
