  Five fire safety inspectors are doing the final checks on a refurbished high school in the fictional Pennsylvanian town of Kettle Creek. What should be a simple in and out job takes a turn for the worst when a freak Blizzard traps them on premises. They never suspect that they are actually being trapped there for a reason, or that blood will be spilled when a strange masked parody of a man appears and begins to hunt them in a deadly game of hide and seek.

  We sit. We lie. We wait. We are examined. We are left alone.  Emotions fritter.  The door re-opens.  The face. Is it tinged with sadness or reassuring and open?  The words.  Are they easy to comprehend?  Is it good news or bad?  We can answer that. It’s bad. Undeniably bad.  None of our authors have good news for you. The diagnosis?  You already know that. Death.

  Sunrise is a collection of interconnected stories continuing Erika Kobayashi's examination of the effects of nuclear power on generations of women. Connecting changes to everyday life to the development of the atomic bomb, Sunrise shows us how the discovery of radioactive power has shaped our history and continues to shape our future. 
   
   
   
  In the opening, eponymous story "Sunrise," Yoko, born exactly two years and one day after Nagasaki was decimated, mirrors her life to the development of nuclear power in Japan. In "Precious Stones," four daughters take their elderly mother to the restorative waters of a radium spring, exchanging tales of immortality. In "Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey," a woman goes into labor during the final days of WWII. And finally, "The Forest of Wild Birds" shows Erika visiting the site of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster, touring grounds that were once covered in green. 
   
   
   
  Translator Brian Bergstrom returns in this collection, bringing to life Kobayashi's unsettling, lasting, and striking prose. The stories in Sunrise force a reckoning with the lasting effects of known and unknown histories and asks how much of modern life is influenced by forces outside of our control.
