Dive into the lush, fantastical world of Philippine folklore with this collection of alamat, or legends.

Take a mythic dip into the rich trove of Filipino legends with this new collection of short stories, with work contributed by more than a dozen writers including Budjette Tan and Eliza Victoria. Readers will explore richly imagined realms where powerful gods and supernatural creatures are responsible for the random twists and turns of fate in the lives of ordinary people.

In 12 fantasy stories, you'll discover:


The multi-layered Skyworld, where weapons fight their own battles.
A ship pulled to Paradise through roiling tides controlled by a giant crab.
A proud monarch, Maryam of Marinduque, who refuses to bow to patriarchy.
Lapu Lapu, the chieftain who repelled Magellan forces, and the changes brought by the Battle of Mactan.
The diwata Maria Makiling, who decides to find romantic partners in the human world.
And much more!

Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman and Rick Riordan's speculative fiction or of Netflix's Trese, this anthology fuses folklore, myth, and magic in works by well-known and up-and-coming contemporary authors. These aren't your grandmother's bedtime stories -each myth-based tale is reimagined for a modern sensibility and reinvented for the current generation of fantasy fiction fans. This gripping collection is essential reading for anyone seeking a glimpse of the legends and magical myths that continue to inhabit the contemporary Philippine imagination!
