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
