About Me

Asamatsu Ken
Born in 1956 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Graduated Toyo University, entering employment at a publishing company.
Debut work was Makyo no Gen'ei (Phantom of the Devil Cult), in 1986. I continue to be active in a wide range of activities, including writing extensively in the weird historical and horror genres.
While remaining extremely interested in the Cthulhu Mythos, lately I have been concentrating on weird historicals set in the Muromachi period (1333-1573).
In 2005 was a candidate for the annual award of the Mystery Writers of Japan, Inc. in the short story genre, for my Higashiyamadono Oniwa (Higashiyamadono Villa Garden).
I have also made considerable contribution to Japanese fiction as an anthologist, proposing a number of collections successfully published in Japan. The Lairs of the Hidden Gods, which won high praise in the original Japan, is now available from Kurodahan Press.
My novel Senpuden (Tales of the Whirlwind) is being serialized on the web by publisher Gentosha as "Bushido," with art by Hiromoto Shin'ichi (see http://www.gentosha-comics.net/genzo-e/index.html).

story
The mummy of a beautiful young girl from Shang Dynasty China is found in an ornate and astonishingly large underground tomb. Preliminary research shows that her cells contain reptilian DNA, and a Japanese research lab is asked to investigate further... Working under the stern Dr. Li, molecular biologist Morishita Anri begins to probe the mysteries locked in the mummy's genetic code, while experiencing strange hallucinations of being a young girl imprisoned in one of the infamous experimental facilities established in China by Japanese Unit 731 for biological warfare.
As Dr. Li hints at prehuman intelligences and huge caverns under the earth, Anri begins to wonder why uniformed soldiers of the PRC Liberation Army are present in the research center in Tokyo. Hallucinations and reality begin to fuse as innocents begin to die in both realities...
★ A classic work of modern horror from the fevered brain of Asamatsu Ken, recognized as a master of weird fiction and horror in Japan.
