球體之蛇
一句幼年偽善的告白，釀成無法挽回的彌天罪行。
《球體之蛇》
「這不是帽子，這是一隻正在消化大象的蛇」
小學五年級那年，我和鄰居乙太郎一家四口去野外露營。一場帳篷火災，奪走乙太郎妻子的生命，而美麗的長女小夜半張臉被燒傷毀容，不久後她在醫院上吊自殺，留下被砸破的雪景球。害死她的元凶，真的是那場無情的火嗎？
十七歲那年的秋天，我因家庭變故住進了乙太郎的家，與他及他的次女奈緒三人共同生活，那場火災的傷痛雖然不時揪痛著我們的心，但親如家人的關係，讓我們短暫享受到平凡的幸福。直到某天，鎮上出現了一個和死去小夜長得很像的女子，我們虛假幸福的美景，開始層層崩毀，各自深鎖在心中的祕密，恐怕再也藏不住了......
「每個胸中懷抱著謊言的人都在等待，
等待溫暖的夕陽射入球體中，融化那些冰冷的雪。」

He began writing short-shorts in college and continued producing fiction after graduation in his time away from work. His first break as an author came when he received the Horror and Suspense Special Prize for Se no me (Eyes in the Back) in 2004; the following year he quit his job to write full-time. In 2009 his novel Karasu no oyayubi (By Rule of Crow’s Thumb) earned the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in addition to a Naoki Prize nomination; in a testament to the consistently high quality of his work, he was nominated for the biannual prize four more times on his way to winning it in 2011 withTsuki to kani (Moon and Crab). Other honors include the 2010 Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize for Kōbai no hana (Flowers of Light), a collection of linked short stories. With his knack for easily crossing over genres such as horror and the mystery, Michio is a promising hitmaker among the new generation of writers.
