Speculative Japan 4: "Pearls for Mia" and Other Tales

The fourth book in Kurodahan's well-received Speculative Japan series introduces new talents from Japan, and fresh new stories by some of the outstanding authors already introduced to the English-speaking world. From deep in the mountains of the Japanese countryside to the plains of frigid Pluto, from a warm South Pacific isle to a freezing mountainside, to Mars or inside a lonely psyche... a positive smorgasbord of speculative enjoyment, in English for the first time!
