A sparing glimpse of those shimmering, fragmented moments at the very end of the line…

“When I die, will you hear my story?” From the mind of Mukoubi Aoi, author of TO THE SEA, comes a beautiful and disturbing selection of their early sci-fi flavored short stories. A princess flees a doomed town; after a funeral, a child is haunted by a shadowy woman; a class mourns their departed fellow student in their own way; a scholar visits a relic site on the eve of its closing; a child says farewell to their only toy; a man visits an unfathomable, barbaric town… prepare yourself for these and many more: tantalizing, haunting, desolately beautiful fairy tales from which it may yet prove impossible to turn away.

When you walk up to the moon… or flip over a tatami mat straight to HELL… if your best friend is a rice ball, or even a kappa… or you’ve ever had to sever the ponytails from innocent acquaintances…

then you just might know what to expect from the stories in this volume.

If not, dear reader, please be advised to look elsewhere or risk sinking deep, deep, into the the unplumbable crevasse of imagination that is Yoichi Abe’s bold new collection PRISM. An exciting, surprising, artful collection of short stories from the author of Sheeply Horned Witch Romi.

Cornflower has a dilemma.

Their best friend Jasper has disappeared, which can mean only one thing. He must have ventured into the angelgrass which grows in impenetrable long stalks and thickets, encroaching on and around the borders of town. To enter the angelgrass unprepared means almost certain death, or worse…

Cornflower’s bloodwitch mother Hilde cryptically refuses her guidance, and their only other companions, the bog boys, aren’t prepared to go in after him either. But when Jasper suddenly reappears, only to vanish into the angelgrass once more, long buried secrets threaten to destroy everything Cornflower has ever known.
