About The Author

Edogawa Rampo

Edogawa Rampo was the pseudonym of Taro Hirai (1894-1965), generally viewed as the greatest of all Japanese suspense and mystery authors. He was a prolific novelist and short story writer. Much influenced by writers such as Conan Doyle, Chesterton and Wells, his pseudonym is a Japanese transliteration of Edgar Allen Poe’s name. Many of his works have been made into films. Perhaps his most famous stories outside Japan are ‘The Caterpillar’ and ‘The Human Chair’.
