Philippine Speculative Fiction Vol. 6 - Anthology

[charlesatan]

This anthology was originally released in print last year, and we've finally converted it into an eBook.

Here's the description:

A kapre turned basketball superstar. An expert on interspecies dating and marriage counselor to the supernaturals. A girl in a Muslim empire engineering a pair of mechanical wings. 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.
