Philippine Speculative Fiction Vol. 5

[charlesatan]

If you're looking for unconventional, non-Western fantasy/science fiction, try the Philippine Speculative Fiction anthology series.

Here's the description from Volume 5:

Living the good life with your husband, an A.I. agent; a little boy’s interview with Death; the mythic love of deities Tungkung Langit and Alunsina; Joseph and his “Immaculate Virgin” wife, Mary. The Philippine Speculative Fiction series are anthologies that showcase the rich variety of Philippine literature: between these covers you will find magic realism next to science fiction, traditional fantasy beside slipstream, and imaginary worlds rubbing shoulders with alternate Philippine history -- demonstrating that the literature of the fantastic is alive and well in the Philippines.
