		Edogawa Rampo (pseudonym of Hirai Taro, 1894–1965) is the acknowledged grand master of Japan’s golden age of crime and mystery fiction.
		Edogawa Rampo – whose name is meant to be read as a punning reference to 'Edgar Allan Poe' – remains popular and influential in Japan.

		Elsewhere, he’s a cipher—even, and most tragically, in most any country that speaks English, the language Rampo himself learned to read so that he might be better acquainted with the mystery and detective fiction that he became so enamored of.
		Rampo is nominally described as a mystery writer, and many of the stories here do fit neatly into that category.
		When those obsessions bottom out completely, Rampo writes stories that are straight-out horror, or sometimes fantasies in the Ray Bradbury “magical realism” vein (although I hate using that term).

		While a few reviewers have criticized Edogawa Ranpo for his stories lacking Poe's feel for the dark horror novel, one must know that Edogawa Ranpo is regarded as the father of the Japanese MYSTERY novel, not horror.
		Edogawa Rampo (a pen name based on the Japanese phonetic rendering of "Edgar Allan Poe") wrote stories featuring bizarre plot twists, keen insight into human nature (usually the dark side), and dreamlike imagery.
		Rampo was truly a brilliant writer, way ahead of his time, and this excellent translation is a pleasure to read.

	Full Alert Film Review: Edogawa Rampo in Japanese Films
		[Rampo was a Japanese mystery writer whose works have been the source of numerous films, the best known outside Japan probably being The Mystery of Rampo and Black Lizard.
		Watcher in the Attic is the newest edition of Edogawa Rampo's story, directed by Akio Jissoji (Utamaro's Women and Tokyo: The Last Megapolis) -- the original 1976 Nikkatsu film was titled Stroller in the Attic (Yaneura-no Sanposha), directed by Noburo Tanaka.
		The film is based on several of Edogawa's short-stories, primarily "Panoramajima Kidan." Due to the controversial nature of the film, its video release has been delayed several times -- and continues to only pop-up on theatrical revivals -- due to its use of distrubing and eccentric images, which jumps from shocking horror to morose humor.

	Edogawa Rampo
		Rich with the phantasy of the Orient, written with the quick tempo of the West, here in English translation for the first time are some of the best mystery shorts by Edogawa Rampo, Japan's foremost mystery author.
		The original Japanese mystery writer to write in the fast-moving style of the modern Western mystery, Rampo, with his suspense-packed stories of weird and intriguing imagination, has enthralled Japanese mystery enthusiasts for over thirty years.
		He started writing in the 1920s and adopted the pseudonym Edogawa Rampo, in honour of his major influence, Edgar Allan Poe (try saying it quickly with a Japanese accent), hence the title of this volume which is - as far as I know - the only volume of his work in English.

		The story does assume an existing familiarity with Edogawa Rampo's character and life, something which might be lost on Western audiences.

		As Rampo insinuates himself into the woman's life, seeking a cure for his inner demons, his perceptions of reality and fantasy become twin threads in one narrative tapestry, leading him toward the brink of madness.

		Taking great pains, the translator would write a single sentence in English, and Edogawa would criticize it and not continue until it was corrected to his satisfaction.
		While his most famous tale in English, “The Human Chair,” is not an outright horror tale, it has an interesting plot twist.
