In this classic volume, you'll find tales that are hauntingly lyrical and complex.Japanese demons that eat flesh.Ghostly brides returning for their lovers.Lafcadio Hearn's ghost stories have become a fixture in the world of Japanese lore and superstition, offering us an eerie taste of what goes bump in the night.A blind performer plays for an audience of ghosts. A maiden reincarnates to search for her beloved. A nurse offers the ultimate sacrifice for her young charge. And a group of rokurokubi plot to end the life of a noble samurai.These classic tales celebrating Japanese culture are far different from our modern-day horror stories.

From the preface. This year (2021) marks the 46th year of the Southeast Asian Diaspora's Anniversary. It's been 46 years since our mass exodus from Southeast Asia, but for some, the war never left. There are those who still struggle with a plethora of mental health struggles, intergenerational trauma, deportation, environmental racism, and so many other issues that are not publicized in the media. Our struggles and our people are continued to be made invisible and erased from American history and media, but not anymore.The second, third, fourth and counting generation of Southeast Asians in America will continue to rise, to advocate for our communities, and fight to be seen, heard, and understood. This anthology is an effort of that.This anthology is a collection of second generation Southeast Asian-Americans' sorrows, struggles, and heart. We offer these pieces of ourselves to our community in hopes of promoting healing, growth, and prosperity.72 pages. Poetry and Essays.

At the end of 2020, Nausicaa is the sole surviving Simulacra from a botched military operation in Syria. A self-described "designed being" living on the streets of San Francisco, Nausicaa obtains several clues from Kiernan that might explain why the other Simulacra died suddenly from a ghastly disease four years earlier. Nausicaa suspects Kiernan's friend and former lover, Y¿ji, a Japanese pharmaceutical executive, was the mastermind behind a secret experiment that spared Nausicaa.Fast forward to 2038 - Simulacra are as common as microwave ovens -and again they are dying of a mysterious disease. Desperate to save them, Nausicaa tracks down Kiernan, who's living in a Sacramento retirement home, and they travel to Tokyo to find Y¿ji before the AUTOMind Corporation finds him and destroys the vaccine that saved Nausicaa.Both technological thriller and road trip, I, Nausicaa is a multi-layered romp through technology, artificial intelligence, and the Japanese tea ceremony.The story begins at the height of the COVID pandemic at the end of 2020. Nausicaa is recalling to a deceased lover, Phylla, how the world has changed since an outbreak four years earlier killed Phylla but not Nausicaa. Contrary to the first of Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics," Nausicaa is capable of killing humans, and because of that, robotics designer Y¿ji Morita spares Nausicaa's life with a vaccine injection. Nausicaa learns that a friend, Kiernan McCreighton, a former drug addict and harm reduction volunteer on the streets of San Francisco, knows Y¿ji from having taught English in Japan. Fast forward to the year 2038: a new generation of bootlegged, unlicensed Simulacra coexists with humans, and they're suddenly dying from the same disease that killed Phylla. AUTOMind orders Nausicaa to find Kiernan, but Nausicaa discovers Kiernan knows about the vaccine and the disease that killed Phylla and joins forces with him to find Y¿ji and find the vaccine documentation. The story is in three parts: 2016, when the outbreak kills Phylla; 1991, when Y¿ji and Kiernan meet in Japan; and in 2038, when Nausicaa and Kiernan go to Tokyo to reach Y¿ji before he's killed.
