Ep. 35 Edogawa Ranpo Short Stories
Published 5 years, 7 months ago
Description
On this Pulp Fictions episode, hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg discuss five short stories from Japanese writer Edogawa Ranpo, the master of "ero guro nansensu" or "erotic, grotesque nonsense."
One of the true masters of the murky border where horror fiction bleeds into crime fiction, Ranpo is one of the 20th century's greatest genre fiction writers whose name deserves to be spoken alongside Poe & Lovecraft.
