Hanzai Japan
Hanzai Japan: Fantastical, Futuristic Stories of Crime From and About Japan | Various Edited by Haikasoru
2 posts | 2 to read
A murderer doing time in hell. A girl who just wants to win her high school band contest...no matter what it takes. Sumo wrestlers with a supernatural secret. A future Tokyo where vampires are menial laborers nursing long-held grudges against humanity. And even a very conscientious, if unstable, Universal Transverse Mercator projection. These crime and mystery stories from and about Japan explore myth, technology, the sharpness of a sleuth’s mind, and the darkness in the hearts of criminals. Read these stories and learn that hanzai means crime! Ray Banks Libby Cudmore Brian Evenson Kaori Fujino Jyouji Hayashi Naomi Hirahara Yumeaki Hirayama Violet LeVoit Yusuke Miyauchi S.J. Rozan Hiroshi Sakurazaka Setsuko Shinoda Jeff Somers Genevieve Valentine Carrie Vaughn Chet Williamson -- VIZ Media

I liked the introduction. It talked about the basic, classic commandments of writing crime fiction and how modern blending of genres has been successfully breaking those rules with fantastic results. It's making me very excited for the stories to come.

I'm going to start this anthology and read one short story per week. One of my fav booktubers is doing that with a huge SFF anthology, & it sounds like a great way to read short story collections! 🌸 Hanzai Japan is a collection of fantastical & futuristic crime fiction short stories from Japan, most of which are written by Japanese authors! 🌸 Also, does she remind anyone else of Catwoman?
