What a coincidence, I just came across these on Am*z*n the other day & thought "Wow, I must get these (some time)" They look excellent; fine classic authors as well as newer ones.

It's great that you found them attractive too. I was most intrigued by Hirai Teiichi's "Midnight Encounters" from the second volume. He was a translator of "Dracula" into Japanese. Here's the Japanese edition of "Midnight Encounters":

Why is Edogawa Rampo not represented in these volumes? I realize there is already some Rampo available in English, but still.
Edit: And how is it that I get a "like" within seconds of posting? Do you have some software that automatically "likes" everything?
