@tantei_kid When I saw the picture I thought you had two copies of Mill House Murders for some reason (I’m too lazy to respond in Japanese rn)

@any_austin In what world did he imagine that tweet getting a positive response

@TomMeadAuthor Hate to say it but I think this is AI-generated. I could be wrong, but there's some funny business going on here either way

@DWaM22 I’m like 90% certain there was a Death in Paradise about this

@oyama_seiichiro 僕はアメリカ人で、日本語を勉強します。「アリバイ崩し承ります2」を読みました。スタイルは快くて、読みやすいです。もっと読むつもりですが、大山の英語でデビューするといいです

New story "Final Emancipation" about a man waking up to discover a deceased civil war soldier has moved into his home.

I'm really proud of this one, and couldn't have asked for a better magazine to host it!

@Imamura1985 「兇人邸の殺人」は僕の初めて日本語で読む小説です。日本語を習っていて、読みにくいですが、楽しい。明智の本も読み見るかもしれない。

たくさんアメリカ人のファンがある。どちらの本も翻訳するといいんですが。

@DWaM22 @E_E_ They should finally capitalize and do a mystery album

The Mountainhead Murders. A robotic society's attempt to build an artificial mountain is threatened when a leader is found dead on the peak from a fall, with no place to fall from.

@JamesTateHill I've never seen Golden Girls so I'm glad there were enough details to follow it regardless. I enjoyed this a lot

Story I wrote a year ago after visiting Jerusalem and finding one of the sites vaguely terrifying. Called “Where They Drove in the Nails.” Glad to finally get it published.

@Hanako15975616 @freusan I mean incest joke aside, it'd be like if Kokoro was released in the U.S. as Tokyo Story or something. Like I get why they did it but it's at least kinda funny

What the email says: "We wish you the best of luck in placing your work with another magazine."
What it actually means:

[Author of Impossible Crime Mysteries @JamesSByrnside]

No one has done as much to promote locked-room mysteries as @johnpugmire Locked Room International has been a huge inspiration for my writing. It's also given me a great deal of joy over the years. Thank you.

@lonechallenger Big fan of him calling Nintendo "Nintendo-san." I'm guessing that's common over there but it's funny to me
