Japanese Dreams takes the reader to the islands of fire and smoke - where shape-shifters, demons and lovers all populate a landscape blossoming with story. Imaginative contributions by such authors as Steve Berman, Eugie Foster, Jay Lake, Yoon Ha Lee, Robert Jordan Levy, Lisa Mantchev, Richard Parks, Ekaterina Sedia, Erzebet YellowBoy, and more, all offer us a glimpse of a silken sleeve or the red fur of the fox as she slips between the rushes, daring us to follow.
