The definitive collection of cartoon short stories from movie director Satoshi Kon.

Dream Fossil is a collection of 15 short stories by the late Satoshi Kon. These stories, serialized in a variety of magazines in the 1980's, give a rare glimpse into the early stages of Kon's uniquely compelling style of storytelling. The buds of dream-like themes and imaginative worldviews that would blossom in his later animated works are also readily apparent. Yes, the flights of fancy are anchored by knowing, empathetic portrayals of the very human nature of each story.

Praise for Dream Fossil

"A filmmaker who relishes the opportunity to pull the rug out from under audiences and give them what they least expect, Satoshi Kon has stood as a skilled, highly original, and talented figure in a world overpopulated by giant mecha and menacing tentacled beasties. Kon's films are alternately haunting, thought-provoking, and oddly endearing, and are a must-see for anyone who has simply dismissed animation as child's play or fan-boy fodder." -New York Times
