Signos: A Fiction Anthology of Filipino Supernatural

Dark lore, myths, creatures of the night, and storied whispers come alive in this tantalizing anthology of fiction from the Philippines. A human-whale chimera takes its last breath in the arms of its human caretaker, a portal invites a grieving woman into an alternative world from which there will be no escape, love enlists a young man to poach victims for his supernatural boyfriend, routine disappearances at a company are chalked up to unending work and exhaustion. The strange, the terrifying, the sublime, and the tragic propel the incredible, metamorphic stories in this anthology. With stories both written in and translated into English, Signos is an utterly original compilation that traces the dark edges of Filipino folklore.

The anthology has been curated and edited into volume by writers Tilde Acuña, John Bengan, Daryll Delgado, Amado Anthony G. Mendoza III, and Kristine Ong Muslim.
