風神之手

by Shusuke Michio, 道尾秀介, 堤風 (Translator)

　　專門替人拍攝遺照的照相館、利用漁火捕魚的漁夫、背負罪孽的癌末老婦……
　　四個主題、四則看似無關的故事，
　　命運卻將自以為的局外之人緊緊纏繞在一起。
　　貫穿全篇「事件」的真實意義，在章節之間不斷被推翻顛覆，卻又在最後連結著彼此。
　　隱藏在因果定律裡的鑰匙，究竟在誰的手中──

　　［心中花］ 一個舉無輕重的小謊，徹底改變女高中生與年輕漁夫的命運
　　［口笛鳥］ 阿鬥與大塊頭，兩名小學五年級生偶然經歷的那場「事件」　
　　［無常風］ 老婦人在臨死前，吐露自己犯下的「罪行」　　　　　　　　
　　［待宵月］ 所有章節的登場人物，以意外的形式交錯生命、齊聚一堂

Shūsuke Michio (1975–)  takes his pen name from the mystery writer Michio Tsuzuki, one of his idols. Michio first became interested in reading in high school, when he was inspired by the works of Yasunari Kawabata and Osamu Dazai. 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.
