I was asked by my editor at Pushkin to recommend some honkaku novels a few years ago, and this was one of my recommendations, so I'm happy to see it was worth mentioning this title too to them!Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-41475329866920656942023-12-09T08:09:47.076+01:002023-12-09T08:09:47.076+01:00Nevermind, I am silly.Nevermind, I am silly.L.

I'm guessing it is, though the site calls it a "murder mystery," not a short story collection.S. M.

They have an imprint called Haikasoru which specializes in science fiction, but recently they also published the book Apparitions by Miyuki Miyabe, which is a volume of ghost stories. Maybe Viz would like to expand their line to publish mystery novels. You could translate it for them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
