The inaugural volume from DILIM Press compiles works from twenty-five global Filipino authors and poets.
Inspired by the galleon trade, writers delve into fear, darkness, and the unknown with stories and poems of mystery, horror, psychological suspense, the macabre, and re-tellings of mythology, all presented in the rich storytelling tradition of the Philippines. From folklore-inspired tales to modern thrillers, from supernatural and ghostly apparitions to explorations of depth in the human psyche, located in half-remembered villas, to a possible future archipelago, and even in outer space, this collection presents perspectives from contributors writing from the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Cuba, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
