After thinking about it a lot, I’d like to nominate :
Book: 黒死館殺人事件 | L50??
Is there an ebook available?: yes ! And as it’s out of copyright, it’s free ! There’s also an ebook combined with another work of the same author, 完全犯罪 (paid version - 文豪ストレイドッグス tie-in edition)
Content warnings if known:
Obviously, murders. Also, the author is famous for creating the mad-scientist-murders genre
Why are you nominating this book:
I’m intrigued by the idea of mad scientist murders, or more precisely, by how it all started. I’m also hoping this will be better quality than some modern takes on the genre. This book is also regarded as a classic
It’s definitely a book I’d like to read, however, I realize that even though the review on Natively is intriguing, many people will be put off by the difficulty. But it could make a fun summer challenge ! I browsed through the text and the japanese doesn’t seem that bad…
