「椅子の中の恋！ それがまあ、どんなに不可思議な、陶酔的な魅力を持つか、実際に椅子の中へ這入って見た人でなくては、分るものではありません。それは、ただ、触覚と、聴覚と、そして僅かの嗅覚のみの恋でございます。暗闇の世界の恋でございます。決してこの世のものではありません。これこそ、悪魔の国の愛慾なのではございますまいか」…椅子専門の家具職人である「私」の倒錯した恋慕を描く「人間椅子」のほか、「お勢登場」「二癈人」「鏡地獄」「押絵と旅する男」「芋虫」の代表作６編を収めた。

This is an excellent education in formal, humble expressions in Japanese. Rampo is fun to read for reasons other than his odd plots. Read the unabridged, unedited texts to receive a slow introduction to archaic kanji and expressions which use them.
The plot itself is entertaining. Published in 1925 when none of today’s tech toys were available.
There are several audio versions of this story available on YouTube - good for tuning one’s ear and tongue.
I did not read this particular publication. I use Aozora Bunko where unedited Rampo stories are available. Goodreads does not have a way to track what one reads on Aozora Bunko, so one must improvise.
