<p>This is the closest text I've found compared to Edogawa. Your reference to Chandler made sense! ;-)</p>

<p>Edogowa Rampo--just say his pen name quickly three times to discover how much he loved Edgar Allen Poe--is considered the first and foremost writer of Japanese mystery fiction. Very little of his work has been translated. <br/> Many of the stories rely on the Poe's model: a tormented protagonist telling his terrible story. The usual suspects: body horror, enclosure, concealed murder - all appear, though there's a uniquely folksy, almost supernatural feeling to the proceedings.</p>

<p>Back now. His work sounds like a cross between Lovecraft and Chandler with a little Joe Lansdale thrown in, but I could be way off base. He's on my list now at least. Thanks.</p>

<p>I'm intrigued. I'm assuming he/she is Japanese. Am I right? Like the sound of 'deviant'. I'm off to Google now. Back soon.</p>

<p>Maybe you could tell us a bit about his work first? (I've not read him, for example.) What attracts you to it?</p>
