About This Novel
Edogawa Ranpo is the founder of Japanese mystery literature and is known as the "Father of Japanese Detective Novels". His works established the unique style of Japanese mystery novels with their eerie atmosphere, exquisite layout and profound insight into human nature. Masters of reasoning such as Keigo Higashino and Shoji Shimada were deeply influenced by it, and the "Edogawa Ranpo Award" named after him is still the highest honor in the Japanese reasoning world. "Edogawa Ranpo Mystery Masterworks Collection" selects six of Rampo's most representative masterpieces, including four short and medium-length collections "The Dark Beast", "The Mystery of D Slope", "The Human Chair" and "Walker on the Ceiling", as well as two full-length novels "The Ghost of the Island" and "Black Lizard". These works show the bizarre criminal world written by Ranpo: bizarre secret room murders, twisted psychological games, and shuddering perverted desires... Among them, the appearance of the famous detective Akechi Kogoro is a classic in the history of Japanese reasoning - he is not only a crime-solving genius with a superior IQ, but also a complex character who is well aware of human weaknesses. The complete set of works has been translated by new generation translators Cao Yibing, Lu Lingzhi and others. The language is fluent and in line with modern reading habits. Whether you are a mystery lover or a reader who is new to Ranpo, you can experience the most authentic Japanese mystery charm from this set of books.
