  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.

  At the Mountains of Madness

  "At the Mountains of Madness" is a science fiction-horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to Antarctica in September 1930, and what is found there by a group of explorers led by the narrator, Dr. William Dyer of Miskatonic University. Throughout the story, Dyer details a series of previously untold events in the hope of deterring another group of explorers who wish to return to the continent. These events include the discovery of an ancient civilization older than the human race, and realization of Earth's past told through various sculptures and murals.The story was inspired by Lovecraft's interest in Antarctic exploration; the continent was still not fully explored in the 1930s. Lovecraft explicitly draws from Edgar Allan Poe's novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, and he may have used other stories for inspiration. Many story elements, such as the formless "shoggoth", recur in other Lovecraft works. The story has been adapted and used for graphic novels, video games, and musical works.

  On the remote marshes of rural England, newlyweds Jack and Laura believe they’ve found their dream cottage — a place of roses, quiet sunsets, and creative work. But beneath the ivy and charm lies a history far older and far darker than either of them suspects. 
  When their housekeeper abruptly quits just days before Halloween, she leaves behind a chilling warning: 
  On All Saints’ Eve, the man-size marble effigies in the local church are said to rise… and walk. 
  Jack laughs it off. Laura tries to. 
  But as the night of October 31st unfolds, a strange hush settles over the countryside, shadows shift in ancient aisles, and the past steps forward — cold, deliberate, and unstoppable. 
  E. Nesbit’s Man-Size in Marble is a haunting classic of Victorian ghost fiction — a tale of love, folklore, superstition, and the terrible price of disbelief. 
  Narrated with atmospheric depth by Miguel Khoury, this chilling story still hits with the same cold grip it had over a century ago. 
  A perfect listen for fans of M. R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and classic supernatural horror.
