“Sequoia Nagamatsu’s universe is one in which modern Japan and its ancient folklore play in the same delightful puddle. Creepy, unnerving, and full of heart, these tales of love and demons, death and Godzilla, loss and possibility, will creep into your dreams and enchant your imagination.”
—Kelly Luce, author of Three Scenarios in Which Hana Sasaki Grows a Tail
Ghosts, Gozilla, shape shifters, sea creatures, snow babies; Sequoia Nagamatsu’s fantastical characters are nonetheless grounded in modern-day conflicts, creating a fascinating and haunting mix of science and myth, past and present. These are stories of gods and monsters walking among us, told with wit, longing, and wisdom.”
—Timothy Schaffert, author of The Swan Gondola, an Oprah.com Book of the Week

WHERE WE GO WHEN ALL WE WERE IS GONE
STORIES INSPIRED BY THE FOLKLORE AND POP-CULTURE OF JAPAN by Sequoia Nagamatsu
Discount Pre-Order
Advance Praise:
"These are stories of gods and monsters walking among us, told with wit, longing, and wisdom.”
—Timothy Schauert
“Strange, subtle, emotionally resonant–Nagamatsu’s fiction is consistently excellent.”
–Kij Johnson
“From shape-shifters, to star-makers, to babies made of snow, the characters in Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone form a community of longing, of the surreal, of wonder. What a joy it is to read each and every story.”
—Michael Czyzniejewski
"It's hard to tell if Nagamatsu holds nothing sacred, or if he holds everything to be. In either case, the effect is the same: these are deft atmospheric romps that a hell of a lot of fun but also worm their way under your skin before you know it. An addictive and compelling debut.”
—Brian Evenson
“It’s an exhilarating debut that serves up every guilty-pleasure pop-culture satisfaction one could hope for while simultaneously reframing and refashioning those familiar low-art joys into something singular, unanticipated, and entirely original.”
—Pinckney Benedict
“These are bright inventions but they will also satisfy our longing for the stories we have always loved.”
— Ramona Ausubel
