In \" Rokurokubi\", a man who has the demonic ability to stretch his neck to incredible lengths tries to save a marriage built on secrets. The recently dead find their footing in \" The Inn of the Dead's Orientation for Being a Japanese Ghost\" . In \" Girl Zero\", a couple navigates the complexities of reviving their deceased daughter via the help of a shapeshifter. And, in the title story, a woman instigates a months-long dancing frenzy in a Tokyo where people don't die but are simply reborn without their memories. Every story in the collection turns to the fantastic, the mysticism of the past, and the absurdities of the future to illuminate the spaces we occupy when we, as individuals and as a society, are at our most vulnerable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNagamatsu, Sequoia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Originally from Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay Area, Sequoia Nagamatsu was educated at Grinnell College and Southern Illinois University.
