A review by estrandberg
Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone by Sequoia Nagamatsu
5.0
This collection of short stories based on Japanese Folklore is eloquent, poetic, and beautifully dark, touching on topics of grief and loss in an imaginative and sometimes disturbing format. I have a feeling these stories will stick with me for some time, as I’m already finding myself thinking about them in my day-to-day activities. My favorites were:
(1) Girl Zero
(2) The Rokurokubi
(3) The self-titled story
(4) Return to Monsterland
Already looking forward to re-reading this book in the future, as it was a fast but vividly rich read. Also, this has me very eager to read Nagamatsu’s latest novel ‘How High We Go in the Dark.’
