This short story collection from 夢野久作 contains:

  1. 瓶詰の地獄
  2. 人の顔
  3. 死後の恋
  4. 支那米の袋
  5. 鉄鎚
  6. 一足お先に
  7. 冗談に殺す

The common theme for most of these stories is that there is some kind of death or murder and someone going insane in some way. The stories are not too difficult to read compared to some other early 20th century books, especially with the modernized furigana added in this edition.

I think I enjoyed 鉄鎚 and 一足お先に the most out of these.
