Normally I save up free fiction links for our regular Friday round-up, but as this is something a little bigger than usual I think it warrants special mention. Filipino genre fiction mavens Charles Tan and Mia Tijam have co-edited an entire virtual anthology of speculative fiction written in English by Filipino writers – a great way to expose new writers to an otherwise hard-to-access market. Here’s the table of contents:

• Introduction by Charles Tan
• “Six from Downtown” by Dean Francis Alfar
• “The Singer’s Man” by M R R Arcega
• “Keeping Time” by FH Batacan
• “Dreaming Valhalla” by Douglas Candano
• “The Sugilanon of Epefania’s Heartbreak” by Ian Rosales Casocot
• “The God Equation” by Michael A R Co
• “The Family That Eats Soil” by Khavn De La Cruz
• “The Dues to the Unbound” by Pocholo Goitia
• “A Ghost Story” by Francezca C Kwe
• “Pedro Diyego’s Homecoming” by Apol Lejano-Massebieau
• “The Forgotten City” by Vincent C Sales

Thanks to SF Signal for the heads-up… If you take a look, let us know what you think.
