Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Wow, clearly one of the best Horror Short Stories we've ever read! Let's talk about "The Human Chair" (人間椅子 or Ningen-isu) by Edogawa Ranpo. Clearly a lot of Edgar Allen Poe influence in this Japanese horror short story. Let's talk about lookism and class elements too.
