PHANTASM JAPAN table of contents revealed!

By Nick Mamatas April 14, 2014

We don't have a product page or a cover yet, but we were so excited about Phantasm Japan, our fantasy anthology follow-up to our award-festooned The Future is Japanese, that we just had to share. Check it out:

Gary A. Braunbeck: "Shikata Ga Nai: A Bag Lady's Tale"
Nadia Bulkin: "Girl, I Love You"
Quentin S. Crisp: “The Last Packet of Tea”
Project Itoh: “From the Nothing, With Love”
Yusaku Kitano: “Scissors or Claws, and Holes”
Jacqueline Koyanagi: "Kamigakari"
Alex Dally MacFarlane: "Inari Updates the Map of Rice Fields"
Zachary Mason: "Five Tales of Japan"
Miyuki Miyabe: “Chiyoko”
James A. Moore: "He Dreads the Cold"
Lauren Naturale: "Her Last Appearance"
Tim Pratt: "Those Who Hunt Monster Hunters"
Benjanun Sriduangkaew: "Ningyo"
Seia Tanabe: “The Parrot Stone”
Joseph Tomaras: "Thirty-Eight Observations on the Nature of the Self"
Dempow Torishima: “Sisyphean”
Sayuri Ueda: “Street of Fruiting Bodies”

We're very pleased—we've got New York Times best-seller Zachary Mason; international fan favorite Miyuki Miyabe; horror legends Gary A. Braunbeck and James A. Moore (I wonder if they share the same middle name); the fiction debut of Lauren Naturale; one of the final short stories of Project Itoh; and an extremely surreal "New Weird" novella by Dempow Torishima, illustrated by the author himself.

Phantasm Japan, coming this autumn! Prepare yourself!
