When the Sun Sets is an excursion into the world of horror and loss. As the pages turn, Alex Xavier will open your mind to such horrors as "Heartless", a tale of an unlikely serial killer who preys on the hearts of women a little too literally. "Roulette", a gripping story centered around secrets and the attempted suicides of six kids. Or maybe "Ketamine", a bump into the world of two wealthy, young socialite's night that ends in vehicular manslaughter and a hostage. Descend into the world of regret with "Limbo", the three part tragedy of a man's downward spiral into suicide and the cold world that awaits him. Take a look into the post apocalyptic landscape of "Martians". Discover the mysteries of "The Guest", or the creatures of "Haunted House". And finally, fight for your life in "Dogs". This dream influenced collection of thrilling tales has been years in the making and will surely leave you craving more.

This powerful novel of a nation in social and moral crisis in the early postwar years probes the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence of this book, often considered Dazai's masterpiece, made the term 'people of the setting sun' -- the declining aristocracy -- a permanent part of the Japanese language. Dazai's heroine, Kazuko, the strong-willed young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, stands as a symbol of the anomie that pervades so much of the modern world. The distinguished translator Donald Keene has said of the author's work: 'His world...suggest Chekhov or possibly postwar France...but there is a Japanese sensibility in the choice and presentation of the material. A Dazai novel is at once immediately intelligible in Western terms and quite unlike any Western book.'
