I have an AMA on r/horrorlit tomorrow. If you're a redditor, come see me. Mostly it is to promote 120 MURDERS. Would also be pleased to find a reason to talk about Kalivas! or anything else you'd like to ask me.

I'm a Japanese to English #translator whose "general" work has vanished, but I do cultural articles (like on Nippon.com) etc. Lately, I've been translating novels, especially the mystery/horror works of author #Uketsu: Strange Houses, Strange Pictures, and coming soon, Strange Buildings!
