Philippine Speculative Fiction II (Philippine Speculative Fiction #2)

I also have few favorites in the book that I won't regret to mention it to everyone.

1. Snippets by Kate Aton-Osias - the heart-warming story of a mother and a wife suffering of cancer that will change her days into unforgettable memories that causes her pain, disappointment, lose hope and most of all lessons that can be share to everyone. Is she will survive or she will be one of the 200,000 thousand cancer patients?

2. The Sign of the Cross by Russell Stanley Q. Geronimo - a group of monks (I think priests) explored a whole new world when an unknown creature appeared to be different in front of them and degusted by the fact that he is a demon. This book explores more on the Catholic Church’s beliefs on the demons that usually only appears to be spirit or not in physical form. How many people must die because of man's curiosity?

3. First Contact by Joseph F. Nacino - When a group of American’s chooses one of the Philippine's island to be the sanctuary of an alien, or might not be, the local residents become aware and they are trying to disintegrate them. What if aliens are the only chance we discover outer space or another world destruction cause by human's narrowed brain not by aliens?

4. Feasting by Joshua L. Lim So - A good story of an insoluble dilemma of the society whether to pursue the life of bounty no matter what it cost or to stay without changes made. What special about this book is that the author put snippets of local dialect, Bisaya to express the society in the story. The ending was shockingly creepy and the best!

5. Waiting for Agua de Mayos by Mia Tijam - A local girl from a small town met a dragon, not the typical one, and she made a friend that will trust her until the promise that had been hidden for years had been broke. In the end she waited for the dragon to come out again every first rain of May. This cute and loving story of unusual friendship of a human and a dragon will enjoy by local

6. Just Another Ghost Story by Apol Lejano-Messebieau - This creepy story of a journalist visited by the ghost that she explored in the past are trying to hunt her again. Can she survive the curse or she will burn to dust? I really enjoy reading ghost stories and this one is the best, unlike the ghost story collections that my sister bought every month when we were in high school.

If I can only fly through books, ride a car that can travel through pages and pages, bookend that can talk and sail through words or a special telepathic power that can create 3 dimensional images by reading. If this will happen life will be a silly opportunity for readers. Kaboooom! And fly!
