We’ve just restocked these incredible English editions by Seishi Yokomizo, the legendary master of classic Japanese detective fiction!

More than just great mysteries, these novels have deeply shaped Japanese pop culture for decades. Yokomizo masterfully blends a dark, suspenseful atmosphere with pure, addictive entertainment that keeps you turning pages.
Plus, these stylish cover designs from Pushkin Vertigo perfectly capture the mysterious mood of each story, making them look stunning on any bookshelf.

“The Inugami Curse” A bitter family feud over a vast inheritance. This is the absolute masterpiece of the Kosuke Kindaichi series.
 “The Village of Eight Graves”
A gripping, suspenseful tale centered around an ancient samurai curse in a secluded village.
  “She Walks at Night”
A haunting drama involving an old family bloodline and a chilling case of sleepwalking.
If you’re looking to dive into classic Japanese suspense in English, come check them out in-store!
