ABSTRACT Yumeno Kyūsaku (1889–1936), a leading figure in the genre of henkaku tantei shōsetsu (strange or unorthodox detective fiction), often used strange happenings and a gothic atmosphere to thrill readers. The supernatural spills over into his fictional worlds in the form of bizarre events that force his protagonists to confront the border between sanity and madness. They are tormented by voices, visions, and the inability to discern reality. Unlike many writers, Kyūsaku remained in his hometown, Fukuoka, and he regularly incorporated local events and themes into his work. This article examines how the supernatural and the local are intertwined in two of his texts to critique Japan’s course of modernization and how the tamashii – spirit or soul – of the past changes with the times.

梦野久作与当地人的精神

摘要 Yumeno Kyūsaku (1889–1936) 是 henkaku tantei shōsetsu（奇怪或非正统的侦探小说）类型的领军人物，经常使用奇怪的事件和哥特式氛围来刺激读者。超自然现象以奇异事件的形式渗透到他的虚构世界中，迫使他的主角面对理智与疯狂之间的界限。他们被声音、异象和无法辨别现实所折磨。与许多作家不同，久作留在家乡福冈，经常将当地的事件和主题融入自己的作品中。这篇文章考察了他的两篇评论日本现代化进程的文本中超自然和地方如何交织在一起，以及过去的 tamashii（精神或灵魂）如何随着时代的变化而变化。
