31 HORROR STORIES -- "The Human Chair" (1925)

@ 12:00 PM

Taro Hirai, under his pen name Edogawa Rampo (say it a few times, fast) wrote this seriously fucked-up story in 1925 (you didn't get to read it in English until 1956). Find a comfy chair, snuggle up, and read it. It's only about 17 pages long. And you won't even need to get all the way to the end until -- I guarantee it -- you will jump out of the chair you're sitting in, look back, and fucking shiver.

I was looking up this story and your blog post came up. I'd read "The Human Chair" a few years back, but I'd forgotten the title. WhenI found it again, I remembered how strange and creepy it was and wondered immediately to myself, "Why the fuck would do I want to read this again?!" But then I finished it, and switched to sitting down on wooden chairs...
