  “A gripping, whimsical, and inventive collection! Couldn’t put it down.” —Jennifer Brody, award-winning author of A Sacrifice of Blood and Stars and The 13th Continuum

  “These are not stories that should be forgotten; and some of you are about to read them for the first time…I envy you.” —Neil Gaiman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Gods 

  “You know that when you combine AC/DC song titles with stellar contemporary mystery writers that something special is likely to happen. It does in Back in Black.” —C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three-Inch Teeth

  “Harlan was not just a great fantasist and/or science fiction writer; he was a great writer, period.  When he was at the top of his form, from the late 60s through the 70s and well into the 80s, there was no finer short-story writer in all of English literature.”  —George R. R. Martin

  “A mix of classics from the past as well as original contributions by popular living writers, such as Laurell K. Hamilton and R.L. Stine…Readers who hope for a comprehensive history of Weird Tales or a definitive collection of its most notable or representative stories will find that the book includes elements of both but in fact is neither. It’s a wild mashup of uneven content, in the custom of the monthly magazine it seeks to celebrate.”  —Wall Street Journal

  “Fun and quirky tales and ruminations about a genius, a hero, and a role model for the ages!” —David Brin, author of The Postman and The Ancient Ones

  “In her debut novel, Kimiko Guthrie creates an alternately whimsical and nightmarish thriller in which the mystery seems to remain just out of reach…With Block Seventeen, Guthrie has recreated the fear of the other and created a hauntingly visceral experience that will linger on the fringes of the amygdala.” —Salon

  “Timely, intense, and oddly sensual, Shadow Lab proves once again that science fiction is the genre of genres, the laboratory where all stories become reinvented for our time.” —In the Hills

  “A stellar assembly of impressive talent…A must-read for genre fans.” —Publishers Weekly

  “Beautifully curated, killer anthology of today’s best thriller writers at the top of their game.” —Glenn Cooper, internationally bestselling author of Library of the Dead

  “You should buy this book immediately, because this is a book that knows perfectly that you are seething inside.” —Algis Budrys, winner of the Pilgrim Award for Lifetime Achievement in Speculative Fiction

  “You should buy this book immediately, because this is a book that knows perfectly that you are seething inside.” —Algis Budrys, winner of the Pilgrim Award for Lifetime Achievement in Speculative Fiction

  “An interesting celebration of the century that has passed since the start of the titular fiction magazine. This anthology is highly recommended for fans or students of the classic magazine, as well as enthusiasts of the genres it helped nurture.”  —Mystery & Suspense

  “A richly imagined collection from a stellar group of writers. Do not miss it!” —Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of The Darwin Elevator and Instinct

  “At this darkly divisive moment in our republic’s history, Block Seventeen stands as a manifestly timely work that addresses historical trauma, the fragile nature of identity, the folds of history and memory’s fissures. It is replete with surprises, sudden turns, and multiple voices while unblinkingly dramatizing the profound and enduring, intergenerational psychic scars left by the World War II Japanese American internment experience. Yet the novel is not without a knowing, redemptive humor as its characters attempt to find and define themselves not only in the unstable space between two cultures, but in the shifting terrain between past, present, and an unforeseeable future. Its quiet urgency speaks to us all.” —Michael Palmer, author of The Laughter of the Sphinx

  “[Will] resonate with readers in their heads and hearts, even as it hits them solidly in the gut. Sci-fi/horror mash-ups have been gaining in popularity, and this anthology provides a great overview of what readers can expect across this broad genre blend.” —Library Journal

  “This anthology has been a shibboleth of a book, a phantasm from the mind of the late Ellison…SF readers will be captivated by this collection.” —Library Journal

  “A crisp and clever marriage of music and mystery.” —Kirkus Reviews

  “In his stories of fantasy and horror, [Ellison] strikes closest to all those things that horrify and amuse us (sometimes both at the same time) in our present lives…Most of all, we sense outrage and anger—as with the best Ellison stories, we sense personal involvement, and have a feeling that Ellison is not so much telling the tale as he is jabbing it viciously out of its hiding place. It is the feeling that we are walking over a lot of jagged glass in thin shoes, or running across a minefield in the company of a lunatic.” —Stephen King

  “Block Seventeen is a moving, compelling novel about intergenerational trauma and a woman’s process of integrating the various known and mysterious threads of her identity. The narrator, Jane (birth name Akiko), is the daughter of a woman who spent part of her childhood in Japanese internment camps. As the story moves back and forth between the contemporary Bay Area and the camps of the 1940s, we come to understand the tragedies that are passed down through a family, even unarticulated, which shape and, often, contaminate the present. Each of the three women in the book—Jane, her mother, her grandmother—searches for ways to evade unbearable loss, each in her separate context. Kimiko Guthrie has written a book in which what seems like surrealism or even magical realism can be understood as the efforts of troubled souls to make sense of experiences that cannot be rationally explained; in light of what is gradually learned about Jane’s family history, these experiences reveal themselves to be fragments of a painful collective and personal legacy. Guthrie’s book is poetically written and psychologically astute. I loved it.” —Anita Barrows, PhD, poet, psychologist, and author of We Are the Hunger

  “A worthy capstone to Ellison’s monumental legacy.” —Booklist

  “Hard-charging [and] crowd-pleasing.” —Shelf Awareness

  “Categories are too small—even the catch-all category of science fiction—to describe Harlan Ellison. Lyric poet, satirist, explorer of odd psychological corners, moralist, one-line comedian, purveyor of pure horror and of black comedy; he is all these and more.” —Washington Post

  “Great crimes are never forgotten, and the World War II internment of the Japanese Americans continues to cast a long shadow. Block Seventeen traces parallels between past and present with a story that is sobering, hopeful, and always beautifully written.” —David C. Fathi, director, ACLU National Prison Project

  “A furiously prolific and cantankerous writer [who] looked at storytelling as a ‘holy chore,’ which he pursued zealously for more than sixty years. His output includes more than 1,700 short stories and articles, at least 100 books, and dozens of screenplays and television scripts…ranked with eminent science fiction writers like Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov.” —New York Times

  “Harlan Ellison was, after all, one of the most interesting humans on Earth. He was one of the greatest and most influential science fiction writers alive. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, lectured to college kids, visited with death row inmates, and once mailed a dead gopher to a publisher. Ellison brought a literary sensibility to sci-fi at a time when the entire establishment was allergic to any notion of art. To say he was one-of-a-kind would be trite, and he would likely hate that. What he was, was a legend.” —NPR

  “The reader is taken back and forth in time in an absorbing…narrative that is purposeful in its examination of how we seem to be reliving past horrors, speeding back down the same road, this time on the high-octane fuel of technology. This promising and totally immersive debut, rich in Japanese American culture, is as devastating and evocative as Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor Was Divine, with a Hitchcockian overlay of suspense.” —Booklist

  “You see Ellison’s unswerving social conscience throughout his fiction and critical essays…forcefully and eloquently—and at some length—lamenting the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment and railing against the scourge of misogynistic ‘knife-kill’ films.” —RogerEbert.com

  “A layered mystery shrouded in grief, paranoia, and intergenerational trauma, set in the Bay Area but located in the half-hidden histories of many of its residents who lived through the Japanese American internment camps of the not-so-distant past.” —Thi Bui, author of The Best We Could Do

  “The words—there is an attention to the words. There is an attention to the sound of the words. You’re reading them in your head, and they sing.” —Neil Gaiman

  “Kimiko Guthrie has written a breezy, accessible novel that manages to defy multiple genres. Block Seventeen is part love story, part supernatural ghost tale, part family history, and part political thriller, with nothing less than the Japanese internment in America during World War Two—and today’s treatment of immigrants—coursing through its haunted, beating heart.” —Susan Jane Gilman, New York Times bestselling author

  “The spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker, with a cultural  warehouse for a mind.” —New York Review of Books

  “The spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker, with a cultural  warehouse for a mind.” —New York Review of Books

  “Block Seventeen grabbed me from the first page and held me in delightful suspension till the last. A young Japanese American woman’s current life collides with the unresolved ancestral pain of her foremothers in a swirl of mystery, current-day politics, profound love, and near-madness—all couched in gorgeous prose. Guthrie is an outstanding novelist that I hope we will hear from again soon.” —Sarah Shourd, author of A Sliver of Light and The Box

  “Feisty, furious, yet extraordinarily kind and generous; Harlan Ellison was one of a kind.” —Leonard Maltin

  “Feisty, furious, yet extraordinarily kind and generous; Harlan Ellison was one of a kind.” —Leonard Maltin

  “In Block Seventeen, Kimiko Guthrie blends horrors both supernatural and all too real to create a moving portrait of family, love, and the myriad ways trauma can haunt us across generations. This is a beautiful book, one that will linger in the reader’s heart long after its final pages.” —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters

  “Harlan Ellison—terrific prose, razor-sharp intellect, pulp gut punches and invention when needed, terse poetics…An original.” —Guillermo del Toro

  “Harlan Ellison—terrific prose, razor-sharp intellect, pulp gut punches and invention when needed, terse poetics…An original.” —Guillermo del Toro

  “Lightning has struck twice with Block Seventeen. With this profound and devastating look at generational trauma, Kimiko Guthrie has not only penned a stunning debut, but a vital work of speculative fiction.” —Cadwell Turnbull, author of The Lesson

  “An original and valuable writer…A twentieth-century Lewis Carroll.” —Los Angeles Times

  “An original and valuable writer…A twentieth-century Lewis Carroll.” —Los Angeles Times

  “In this multilayered tale, a Japanese-American woman struggles to make sense of what’s real in her life…Finely written…On one level, it’s an immigrant story. On another, it’s a story of a people betrayed by society. A story of how cultural wrongdoing impacts subsequent generations. And a story of how the children of immigrants attempt to reconcile their American lives with the lives of those who came before them.” —Washington Independent Review of Books

  “Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Norman Mailer, stand aside. Harlan Ellison is now a better short-story writer than you will ever be again during the rest of your lives.” —Ray Bradbury

  “Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Norman Mailer, stand aside. Harlan Ellison is now a better short-story writer than you will ever be again during the rest of your lives.” —Ray Bradbury

  “Guthrie’s unsettling style, winding from present to past and back again, is many things at once: A ghost story, a love story, a family story, a suspense story. It’s speculative fiction with serious roots and contemporary relevance, since Jane’s search leads her through both past and present politics, the kind that vilify one group in order to make another feel safe. Yet her light touch and frequent reminder of small human pleasures (Japanese shaved ice, Cap’n Crunch cereal, a retro wedding dress) make the novel a strangely easy, dreamlike read despite its tough themes.” —Lit Hub

  “The incredible Harlan Ellison writes as if an inner fuse is about to blow before he can get all the words on his pages.” —Anne McCaffrey

  “The incredible Harlan Ellison writes as if an inner fuse is about to blow before he can get all the words on his pages.” —Anne McCaffrey

  “Natalie Naudus brings thoughtful gravitas to the narration of Kimiko Guthrie’s debut…Naudus skillfully navigates between the novel’s two time periods…Her characterizations are authentic and believable, and her ability to capture this novel’s unsettling atmosphere sets this audiobook apart.” —AudioFile

  “He doesn’t write like anybody else. What emerges is a surprising, eclectic, almost protean series of visions, often disturbing, always strongly felt.” —Michael Crichton

  “He doesn’t write like anybody else. What emerges is a surprising, eclectic, almost protean series of visions, often disturbing, always strongly felt.” —Michael Crichton

  “A sultry summer story, in which not all is as it seems…[A] powerful, lyrical work…Dorothea Lange and other conscientious photographers documented the internment experience, but nothing feels as real as the squish of mud, the bitter taste of fear, as described by Jane/Akiko and her mother. The other strong comparison I can make is with Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman. If you’re the kind of reader who devours Atwood, you’ll probably want to tuck in to Kimiko Guthrie.” —Fresh Fiction

  “Together with Jane, we discover that a return to sanity for Jane and understanding for us will require recognition and an embrace of the multi-generational trauma inflicted by the Japanese-American internment of World War II, which we have all labored to deny. I highly recommend this book.” —Midwest Book Review

  “Kimiko Guthrie’s Block Seventeen is one of the most lucid, uncanny—and subtly odyssean—portraits of the afterlife of Japanese American incarceration that I have ever experienced. The ways it unfolds and inhabits, on an intimate level, the daily—even hourly—manifestations of racial melancholy and transgenerational trauma, is breathtaking. As strange as it might sound to say, by the time I reached its final, heartbreaking pages, I felt like I had been invited into a dream, and through it, into an understanding of my own wounded place in the American scenario. Because it is difficult, maybe even impossible, to read Block Seventeen without feeling that you too are surrounded—maybe even guided—by the untold stories and unrelieved traumas of your personal and ancestral past. And yet, in Guthrie’s company, that feeling is as consoling as it is consuming. It is the feeling of homecoming, of magic.” —Brandon Shimoda, author of The Grave on the Wall

  An anthology more than half a century in the making, The Last Dangerous Visions is the third and final installment of the legendary science fiction anthology series.

  In 1973 celebrated writer and editor Harlan Ellison announced the third and final volume of his unprecedented anthology series, which began with Dangerous Visions and continued with Again, Dangerous Visions. But for reasons undisclosed, The Last Dangerous Visions was never completed.

  Now, six years after Ellison’s passing, science fiction’s most famous unpublished book is here. And with it, the heartbreaking true story of the troubled genius behind it.

  Provocative and controversial, socially conscious and politically charged, wildly imaginative yet deeply grounded, the thirty-two never-before-published stories, essays, and poems in The Last Dangerous Visions stand as a testament to Ellison’s lifelong pursuit of art, uniting a diverse range of science fiction writers both famous and newly minted, including Max Brooks, Edward Bryant, Cecil Castellucci, James S. A. Corey, Howard Fast, P. C. Hodgell, Dan Simmons, Robert Sheckley, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Mildred Downey Broxon, and Cory Doctorow, among others.

  The historic publication of The Last Dangerous Visions completes the long-awaited final chapter in an incredible literary legacy.

  • By Kimiko Guthrie

    Read by Natalie Naudus

  • Release Date: 6/23/20

  • Formats: Trade Paperback, Hardcover, Trade Print ARC

  Akiko “Jane” Thompson, a half-Japanese, half-Caucasian woman in her midthirties, is attempting to forge a quietly happy life in the Bay Area with her fiancé, Shiro. But after a bizarre car accident, things begin to unravel. An intruder ransacks their apartment but takes nothing, leaving behind only cryptic traces of his or her presence. Shiro, obsessed with government surveillance, risks their security in a plot to expose the misdeeds of his employer, the TSA. Jane’s mother has seemingly disappeared, her existence only apparent online. Jane wants to ignore these worrisome disturbances until a cry from the past robs her of all peace, forcing her to uncover a long-buried family trauma.

  As Jane searches for her mother, she confronts her family’s fraught history in America. She learns how the incarceration of Japanese Americans fractured her family, and how persecution and fear can drive a person to commit desperate acts.

  In melodic and suspenseful prose, Guthrie leads the reader to and from the past, through an unreliable present, and, inescapably, toward a shocking revelation. Block Seventeen, at times playful and light, at others disturbing and disorienting, explores how fear of the “other” continues to shape our minds and distort our world.
