One Hundred and One Nightmares
by Kanji Hanawa
[Literature, Mystery, Horror]
Akumu hayakuichi ya (One Hundred and One Nightmares) is a collection of short stories exploring our deepest fears and neuroses while remaining firmly rooted in our experiences of daily life. Although drawing on elements of Japanese culture, the nightmarish scenarios are surprisingly familiar for Western readers who will immediately identify with the characters and the situations they face. Thought-provoking and compulsive reading.

Something Fishy
by Ryuichi Kasumi [Mystery, Humor]
When private detective Fukusuke Kurenaimon first interviews his clients, the incidents he has to investigate always seem quite odd, but fairly benign. For example, there doesn't seem anything dangerous about the "ochazuke case", where Fukusuke has to find out why his client was sent a rice-soup set by someone pretending to be her boyfriend.
However, in each of the four cases recounted here, things rapidly turn nasty.
