Edogawa Rampo (1894-1965) is, as his nom de plume indicates, Japan's answer to Edgar Allen Poe. This tale of a madman who spends his days devising new ways to murder each of the hundred people he must kill before he can rest runs true to Edogawa's gothic, horror roots. A short but compelling story, with an ending that you will never see coming.
