For over twenty years (2002-2025), Kurodahan Press brought Anglophone readers a wealth of fascinating fiction and nonfiction from and about Japan. A major focus of this press was speculative fiction, resulting in a number of works in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, weird, uncanny, and horror being translated into and published in English. Kurodahan also ran the Kurodahan Translation Prize from 2008 to 2020, with the winning stories featured in the Speculative Japan anthologies. These novels and stories are some of the best speculative fiction around, so dive in and enjoy!
