Synopsis
Kido remains popular for his elegant, low-key style, subtly introducing the "other" into the background, and raising the specter of the uncanny indirectly and often indistinctly. His fiction spans an enormous range of material, much of it dealing with the uncanny, and as a pioneer in the field his work formed the foundation for the new generation of Japanese authors emerging in post-Restoration literature.
This selection presents a dozen of his best stories: pieces which remain in print almost a century later, and continue to enchant readers--and writers--today. Finally, English-reading audiences can enjoy his strange visions as well.
