Tales of human interest, the supernatural, and adventure published in magazines like "Shounen Shojo Tankai," "Kodan Zasshi," and "Shin Shonen"—
This volume brings together works by literary master Yamamoto Shugoro that have never before been published in book form, or that have significant variations from their current editions!
Two full-length novels, 19 short stories, and a collection of lost works are about to be revealed!
Yamamoto Shugoro's prewar historical novels are not as plentiful as his detective novels. Even so, works published in the widely scattered "Kodan Zasshi" and boys' magazines, as well as less well-known and less well-known magazines and specialist journals, remain buried.
This volume features a selection of Shugoro's most rare prewar historical novels, not included in either the "Yamamoto Shugoro Detective Novels Complete Collection" or the "Shugoro Children's Library." Many of these works have never been published in book form, including the original publications of works that are widely used as the originals, and conversely, the original publications of works that are widely used as the originals. If you're interested, it might be fun to compare the different versions of the work. (From the editor's commentary)
