I really should redo those old translations one day, because they're really old now... <br /><br />As for Abiko, I really enjoyed his work for videogames and in tone, I think The 8 Mansion Murders is closer to those videogames than this particular book (also due to T8MM's classic set-up as opposed to the more modern/less strict set-up of this novel).Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-49537872544642957082019-01-03T22:00:23.932+01:002019-01-03T22:00:23.932+01:00I got your name from The 8 mansion murders Eng. tr...I got your name from The 8 mansion murders Eng. translation (although I have read Decagon House murders long time ago but the translator's name wasnt highlighted); googled-the-shit-out of your name and came across this blog, which has been such an important resource. I was only aware of some of the big names in Japanese mystery writers and sad about the meager availability of works translated in English. But this blog! Not only did I learn about more writers but also came across your translation works of short stories. I started reading it from the start and I'm about to finish the first year of your writing. <br />Keep up the good work and happy to see you've come full circle from feeling lukewarm about Abiko Takemaru's work to translating The 8 Mansion Murders. kr0yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830142130963372249noreply@blogger.com
